In this episode of ThriveCAST, host Shannon Singler interviews Jeremy Ortiz, founder and CEO of Archis Architects, a firm that doesn’t just design buildings - it architects success. Jeremy has been shaping skylines and defying industry norms since 1999. 

From launching his firm during an economic downturn to scaling across multiple states, his journey is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and knowing when to put the pencil down. If you’ve ever wondered how to juggle the art and science of business while convincing clients that good design isn’t just a luxury, this episode is for you. 

What You’ll Take Away: 

• The business of blueprints – Why every architect should minor in business (or risk getting blindsided by the business side of running a business [hint: taxes]).
• Scaling smart – How to expand your firm across multiple locations without losing your mind or money.
• Design that sells – Strategies for communicating the value of thoughtful architecture to clients who only see dollar signs.

Whether you’re an architect, a business owner, or someone who appreciates not living in a cookie-cutter building, this conversation will inspire you to think bigger, design smarter, and build bolder.
