🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with architect, real estate investor, and entrepreneur Victoria Suen—founder of BuildxDesign—to unpack how she built a multiple six-figure architecture firm despite starting from a low-paying job in the architecture world. By bridging two worlds: the creative design space and real estate development, and re-establishing mindsets, she continues to navigate in finding daily success with her business.

We explore:

Why she almost quit architecture

How she turned low-paying job offers into a profitable business

Her work on major projects like Shopify and Upgrade Labs

The real meaning behind “good design” beyond code

Lessons from failures in DIY renovations and real estate investing

Her approach to leadership, systems, and scalable growth

Her journey building a zoning-analysis SaaS product for homeowners

If you’re an entrepreneur navigating old systems while building something new, this one’s for you.
