How to Become a Licensed Architect Even if You’re Neurodivergent (ADHD Edition)

Architecture school is one of the hardest majors, and becoming a licensed architect? It’s a marathon. If I had overthought it before starting, I might have said, “No way, not for me.” But I didn’t. I kept going, learned to work with my ADHD, and figured it out as I went.

If you’ve ever struggled with focus, motivation, or feeling “inconsistent,” you’re not alone. In this video, I share my journey from barely scraping by in school to becoming a licensed architect—all while embracing my neurodivergence. You don’t have to study like everyone else. You just have to figure out your way.

0:00 - Intro
01:07 - Architecture school is HARD! Here’s how I made it through with ADHD
04:36 - Step 1: Letting go of perfectionism
05:40 - Step 2: Study in your OWN way
08:52 - Step 3: Comparisonitis
10:04 - Step 4: Dealing with inconsistencies
11:34 - Step 5: Hyperfixations
13:00 - Step 6: Be on your own timeline
14:16 - Step 6: Staying present & being kind to myself
15:48 - Final thoughts
