We recently sat down with Michael Riscica, RA, Founder of the Young Architect brand, including the Young Architect Academy, ARE Bootcamp, and Young Architect Conference. 

Michael is a licensed Architect who took his lumps while getting his design career off the ground. He has experienced many key events in his career that have ultimately led him to a place where he spends a lot of time helping young design professionals be the best version of themselves on both a professional and personal level.  

Michael shared his journey of becoming an architect and the challenges he faced in pursuing his license. He shared his thoughts on several topics that all young design professionals deal with, including preparing for and taking ARE tests, mentoring, professional development, the challenges of Remote Work, and so much more.  

Michael is certainly a breath of fresh air in our industry, representing the best his generation has to offer.  And, he is playing a significant role in helping a new generation of design professionals find their footing and establish themselves in an ever-changing industry and profession.
