Business of Architecture Podcast

How Passion and Process Built a Thriving Global Firm


Listen Later

In this episode of Business of Architecture, we meet Tima Bell, founder of Bell Design Group—a firm with global reach and an unexpected twist on what it means to practice architecture. With studios across Los Angeles, Madrid, and Argentina, Tima shares how his journey from hospitality design to managing a 50+ person team has shaped a unique approach to leadership, delegation, and culture.

You'll hear how one of his biggest challenges turned into a multi-business solution, helping not just his firm but others in the industry. He opens up about the real cost of passion, how to spot when a project is truly worth saying yes to, and when it’s not. And if you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to grow a firm while still loving the work, this conversation offers an inspiring glimpse behind the curtain.

Listen to learn:

  • What most architects miss that keeps their firm stuck
  • A surprising way to build international credibility without a big name
  • How to get clients without "selling"
  • What happens when you let go and trust your team to rise
