A highlight of the month was our annual Career Fair, where students connected with professionals from across the architecture, design, and construction industries. What stood out most was seeing our alumni come full circle, representing firms and engaging with students who are just beginning to imagine their own paths.

This year, we welcomed a dynamic group of firms including , , and along with organizations like AIA San Diego and the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps. Each conversation, introduction, and shared moment helped bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional practice.

We were proud to host more than 40 firms in total, reflecting the strength and reach of the NewSchool network. View the full list of participating firms here.

March also marked our first Open House of 2026, where families, friends, prospective students, and incoming Fall 2026 students spent time experiencing campus life. There was a natural curiosity in the air as visitors explored studio spaces, met faculty, and connected with current students. It was less about presentation and more about presence—getting a real sense of what it feels like to be here.

That sense of community was made even stronger thanks to our partners at , , and . Their support helped create an environment that felt welcoming and connected beyond campus itself.

We also had the pleasure of hosting students from Patrick Henry High School and the Fresno City College Architecture Club. They spent time with our faculty, learned about our programs, and experienced the rhythm of a typical day in our studios. It gave them a chance to picture themselves here, not someday in theory, but in a way that felt real and immediate.

What made March special was not just the number of events, but the feeling behind them. There was openness, curiosity, and a genuine sense that people wanted to be here and be part of something. That is what continues to shape the NewSchool experience.

If you were not able to join us on campus, there are still ways to stay connected. You can follow us on for updates on virtual information sessions or reach out to connect with our program chairs. We look forward to welcoming you into the NewSchool community soon!

Design shapes the world around you—everything from the bus stops you wait at to the apps on your phone. Do you have the curiosity, passion, and drive to explore the ‘why’ behind everything? Then you are a designer.

When Challenge Leads to Impact

Design is more than making things look good. Your work will be about solving real problems—improving a product, creating an app, or designing a space that feels alive.

Design is a team sport. You’ll collaborate constantly, learning to understand perspectives beyond your own. You’ll thrive when you’re willing to challenge assumptions, take risks, and grow fast. Every decision you make matters, and the challenges you face in learning and creating are exactly what give your work impact.

Curiosity as Your Compass

Curiosity is your guide. You’ll explore in all directions—collecting information, analyzing trends, and discovering new ways to approach challenges. Curiosity turns into dedication when you commit to learning deeply, experimenting fearlessly, and refining your instincts.

Every day is a chance to discover something new. This field is constantly evolving, and if you embrace change, you’ll develop a mindset that lets you pivot across multiple avenues whether that’s product design, interactive media, or graphic design. You’ll never get bored because every day brings something unexpected to learn.

Innovation Drives Possibility

Curiosity helps you explore, but innovation is what turns your ideas into something new and meaningful. In design, you’ll learn to look at problems from fresh perspectives, combine different insights, and push beyond what’s expected. Innovation isn’t just about creating the next big thing, it’s about improving experiences, rethinking everyday objects, and finding solutions that truly make a difference. The more you experiment and embrace bold ideas, the more impact you can have as a designer.

Strategy Shapes Your Path

Curiosity drives exploration, but strategy gives your work direction. Thinking of yourself as a business—defining who you are, what you offer, and how you present yourself, helps you turn ideas into impact. Even small exercises, like reflecting on your personal goals or your professional statements, give clarity and purpose to your design journey.

Strategy isn’t about limiting creativity; it’s about giving it focus. When you approach challenges strategically, your work doesn’t just solve problems—it tells a story, builds your identity, and positions you to make an impact in the world.

Are You Ready?

If you love asking questions, exploring possibilities, and creating solutions that matter, this path could be for you. You’ll need curiosity, innovation, and strategic thinking to succeed, but in return, you’ll gain the ability to shape the world around you.

My relationship with NewSchool of Architecture & Design began in 2005, when I first walked into the
design studios as an undergraduate student. From the very first day, I felt something special. The
studio culture was alive, full of energy, collaboration, late-night creativity, and a sense of belonging
that stayed with me long after graduation. For me, the studio became more than a place to design; it
became a form of meditation, a space where ideas unfolded freely and where I learned to see the
world differently.

During my 5th-year thesis, I grew tremendously as a designer. I focused my thesis on double-skin
façade systems, a project that challenged me, inspired me, and ultimately shaped my architectural
language and my philosophy about the built environment. That year was transformative, and many of
the ideas I explored during my thesis still influence my work and teaching today.
Right after graduating, I joined NewSchool as a Teaching Assistant. Returning to the same studios
where I had grown as a student was incredibly meaningful. Supporting students, offering guidance,
and watching their confidence grow sparked something in me: the realization that teaching was not
just something I enjoyed, it was something I was meant to do. I wanted to give back to the
community and discipline that had shaped my life.

In 2014, I opened , which allowed me to expand my professional practice while
continuing to teach. Building a business from the ground up, I now lead full design services, from
conceptual design and visualization to construction documents, consultant coordination, and
managing the entire permitting process from concept to approval. Serving clients through real
projects helped me bridge academia and professional practice, and I brought everything I learned
back into the classroom to support my students even more.

In 2013, I joined the faculty as a part-time instructor, and in 2019, I became a full-time professor.
These roles have been among the greatest honors of my life. Serving as a faculty member and 5thyear
coordinator has allowed me to contribute to the school’s culture, shape the curriculum, support
student success, and collaborate with outstanding colleagues and partner firms on meaningful design
projects.

One of the greatest joys of my career has been watching my students thrive. Over the years, many of
my former students have gone on to become project managers, designers, architects, and leaders
across San Diego and throughout California. Seeing them succeed, leading teams, shaping cities, and
contributing their talent to major firms is one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. Their
achievements remind me every day why I chose to teach.

What has kept me connected to NewSchool all these years, as a student, teaching assistant,
instructor, and professor is the students and the studio culture. NewSchool has always been a place
where creativity thrives and where students feel safe to explore, experiment, fail, learn, and
ultimately discover who they are as designers.

Looking back, I am grateful for every chapter: entering as a student full of dreams, stepping into
teaching right after graduation, launching my own firm, and growing into a full-time professor
dedicated to giving back. NewSchool has shaped my career, my teaching philosophy, and my values.
It remains one of the most meaningful communities I have ever been part of.
I am proud to call NewSchool my home.

Understand the Purpose of Your Portfolio

Think of your architecture portfolio as a resume. It’s a visual representation of your artistic skills and design style. According to the NewSchool of Architecture & Design, undergraduate architecture programs look for problem-solving, conceptual thinking, and attention to detail. Include completed projects and examples of your design process. That includes sketches, research, and technical drawings. Consider it a cohesive story that tells who you are as an aspiring architect.

Research the Requirements

While schools might be similar, each of them has a set of requirements you need to follow.  This might be the number of pages, format, and types of projects to include. Understanding these guidelines is crucial for success.

Some architecture & design schools prefer electronic portfolios. Others might want to see a physical architect portfolio. A successful architecture school portfolio follows all requirements, no matter how they differ from the others. Pay attention to the following:

• Page limits: this is true for physical and electronic portfolios. Keep it concise, but make it impactful. Common requirements are 10-20 pages.
• Dimensions: there are typically size specifications for architecture portfolios. Make sure you know and adhere to them.
• Content types: prominent schools, such as the NewSchool of Architecture & Design, suggest mixing personal and academic projects that you’ve completed in the field of architecture.
• Technical requirements: for electronic portfolios, check file format and resolution before submitting.

This is also the best time to produce a table of contents, even if it’s in draft form,

Being aware of each school’s undergraduate portfolio requirements lets you modify each before submission. It also demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail. Both of these qualities are important for future architects.

Curate Your Best Work

Quality over quantity is a must for your architecture school application. It’s often a competitive admissions process, so your best is the goal. A diverse set of projects showcases your personal story. It also illustrates your skill set, including drawing, painting, 3D models, graphic material, and photography. By displaying all of your mediums, you create a strong portfolio and showcase a solid understanding of the design process and your artistic ability. Use these tips as you select your work:

• Highlight originality: most admissions committees want a unique perspective and plenty of innovation.
• Demonstrate technical skills: this involves precise drawings, freehand sketches, CAD examples, and detailed physical models. Project management is another skill to highlight here.
• Focus on relevance: projects need to be architectural. Examples include urban blocks, spatial sequences, and conceptual sketches that fully understand the process.
• Add personal projects: including a passion project reveals creativity and makes your architect portfolio more memorable.

When you put together your undergraduate architecture portfolio, think about its narrative. You want a cohesive story that speaks to your growth and interests. You also want it to showcase your artistic ability and maturity in design projects. There are many examples of architecture portfolios available online, and you can also ask your mentors for additional examples.

Showcase Your Design Process

A top-notch profile is more than your finished work. It should also highlight your creative process. Architecture schools are interested in how you think and solve problems. They also want to see how you grow and refine ideas. Sharing your process helps admissions experts understand your graphic design methods. That’s anything from freehand drawings to life drawings to computer models. It also proves that you can develop ideas and stay consistent with them. Include the following pieces:

• Early sketches: raw concepts, projects in the early stages, and freehand sketches are all examples.
• Research and analysis: provide documentation of your themes, material studies, and site analysis within your architect portfolio.
• Prototypes and models: share the evolution of your professional design projects. Include physical and digital examples of your architecture projects.
• Final presentation: include completed projects that showcase your artistic ability and technical accomplishments. Add any other essential skills that apply to the field of architecture.

Include a brief description and annotations where necessary. This gives valuable context that lets admissions teams follow your journey from the original idea to the completed project.

Create a Cohesive and Visual Narrative

This was briefly mentioned before, but let’s look at it more closely. A successful undergraduate architecture portfolio shares a story, in this case, a visual and graphic narrative. It starts with your interest in design ideas and goes through your growth. That makes organizing your portfolio logically an important part of your success during the application process.

Capture your audience by sharing your strongest work first. Then, build upon it with projects that showcase your skills, creativity, and design aesthetic. Use these structure suggestions to guide you:

• Introduction: talk about your passion for architecture and share your vision as a designer of architectural projects and strengths in design work.
• Core projects: organize these by theme or in chronological order. This shows the progression of your skills and architectural interests. Include details about previous design coursework.
• Supplementary projects: life drawings, freehand drawings, sketches, and photography go here. Any other creative projects that you feel demonstrate versatility and range also belong in this part of your architectural portfolio.
• Conclusion: tie everything together with your best project. This leaves a memorable impression and helps strengthen your narrative.

Consistency is key here. Your story needs to be engaging and memorable and follow a clear path. This strategy lets architecture students share who they are as candidates for the school through the progression of skill development.

Prioritize Visual Clarity

Your architectural portfolio needs to be visually appealing and professional. Consider the layout and visual material you will include. Avoid cluttered pages and inconsistent designs. Both are distracting and take away from the impact of your portfolio. Use simple portfolio layouts, include white space, and stay consistent with your colors and fonts. Additional tips include:

• Limit the text: brief captions and annotations are best. They explain projects but let the focus remain on your graphic material.
• High-quality images: a strong design project with crisp and well-lit photos. Use editing tools where needed to showcase images.
• Grid format: portfolio layouts must be organized so they look professional and polished.
• Consistent fonts: use one or two fonts and keep them consistent. That includes color and size. The goal is uniformity in your architect portfolio.

Look at your digital portfolio on several devices to be sure it transfers well. Print physical copies so that you can examine the result before submission. There are many architecture portfolio examples online that you can use as inspiration.

Include Technical Skills

Proficiency is a crucial part of technical design. A successful portfolio demonstrates this by showcasing your ability with industry tools and software programs. Examples include Rhino, AutoCAD, and Revit. Don’t forget to include freehand sketches. These allow you to share an understanding of spatial relationships and precision. Highlight the following elements:

• Blueprints and plans: detailed technical drawings must have accurate dimensions and annotations.
• 3D renderings and models: these can be physical or digital. Either should show your skill levels in visualizing and communicating design concepts for a project.
• Construction details: display further understanding in the field of architecture with drawings and studies of structural and material systems.

This proves that you can handle the technological skills that go with design.

Personalize Your Portfolio

You want more than a decent portfolio. You want a ready portfolio. That requires putting your mark on it while also highlighting your specific skill sets and using the necessary visual elements. Let your personality and perspective shine. Add cultural influences, hobbies, and other details that make you memorable. That might be inspiration from nature or designs that address urban challenges. Whatever it happens to be, make sure it proves why you are a strong candidate for a future in the architectural field.

Ask for Feedback

Feedback is often what sets a strong architecture portfolio apart from just a decent portfolio. Before you submit it, ask mentors, professional architects, and peers to have a look at your portfolio.

Constructive criticism is valuable because it lets you see where improvements are necessary. That ensures that you improve the presentation for the best results. Feedback from several sources is useful. You can also ask for feedback each time you make changes. The goal is a polished, professional, and ready portfolio when it’s time to submit.

Use Professional Tools

are essential when creating a strong architecture portfolio that shows a solid understanding of the architectural field. Canva and Adobe InDesign are great examples. Each helps you create a layout that is sleek and has visual appeal. Tools like Lightroom and Photoshop help you create high-quality images that show your skill sets.

If you’re submitting a physical portfolio, choose premium materials for printing and binding. This makes a strong and professional impression on architecture schools and architecture firms you may work with in the future.

Prepare for Interviews

In an architecture school interview, your portfolio will start the conversation. For that reason, you need to be familiar with what’s in it. Be prepared to discuss your projects, including what inspires you and what design challenges you’ve faced.

Practice your presentation before your interview. This builds confidence and makes a positive impression on the interviewer. You may want to have someone observe your presentation and offer tips for improvement.

Stay Up to Date

Architecture evolves all the time. Stay on top of the trends and research in the architecture field. That could be sustainable design, smart cities, or parametric architecture. Schools value candidates who are forward-thinkers in architectural design. They want to see that in their undergraduate portfolio.

Final Checklist

Before you submit your architect portfolio, complete the following final steps.

• Proofread and correct any errors.
• Test digital portfolios to ensure they are compatible with all devices.
• Check the guidelines for each school and adhere to each of them.
• Polish your presentation. Make it professional and cohesive.

Conclusion

Submitting your undergraduate portfolio is exciting and stressful. It requires creativity, strategy, and attention to detail. Showcasing your skills and the graphic design process is also important. Fine-tune your presentation to reflect your architectural portfolio and your professional personality.

Make sure it meets the school’s requirements if you want to be a successful architecture school applicant. This will set you apart from other candidates, both for your education and for potential employers once qualified.

Effective time management is one of the most critical skills that can help all students strike the right balance between academic and personal life. It allows for the completion of projects without a troubling background of undue stress.

Here are some of the best tips specifically tailored for time management for architecture students like yourself.

1. Plan in Advance

The art of time management begins with thorough planning. Start by creating a weekly schedule that outlines all of your academic tasks, design projects, and personal goals. Break larger projects into manageable tasks and set achievable goals for each phase. For example, if you have a design-build project due in two weeks, allocate blocks of time for research, sketching, and refining your design. Using a timetable can give you a clear roadmap to meet your academic goals.

2. Utilize Digital Tools

and architectural project management software can simplify the administration of time and resources. There are plenty of recommended apps out there like Trello, Skype, Notion, and Asana that can help you to visualize your progress on projects, delegate tasks if you’re working in a team, and set reminders for critical tasks that need to be prioritized. Further tools like AutoCAD or Sketchup enable efficient project planning by streamlining the design process.

3. Master Time Blocking

Time blocking is an effective time management strategy where you allocate specific time blocks for different tasks. For instance, dedicate two hours in the morning to challenging tasks like drafting or modeling, followed by a five-minute break. You can then switch to academic tasks such as research or reading. Including buffer time between tasks helps account for unforeseen delays and keeps your schedule flexible and manageable.

4. Prioritize Tasks

To efficiently manage your workload, categorize tasks based on urgency and importance. Focus on high-importance, high-urgency tasks first, like meeting project deadlines or preparing for an important presentation. Delegate less crucial tasks when possible, and save non-productive activities for times when your energy is lower. This prioritization ensures that you’re always working on what matters most.

5. Set Achievable Daily and Term Goals

Establishing daily goals helps you stay focused on the completion of projects. Combine these with broader-term goals to maintain direction in your studies. For example, aim to finish specific drawings or model components each day while keeping the overall goal of completing the design project.

6. Take Regular Breaks

Breaks between tasks are essential for maintaining focus and avoiding burnout. Incorporate five-minute breaks after every 25-30 minutes of focused work and consider longer breaks for meals or personal activities. Coffee breaks and extended breaks can be used to recharge and foster a better work-life balance. The less burned out you feel, the more productive you are going to be.

7. Combat Procrastination

Procrastination in architecture school is a common issue among students, but it is something that can lead to unnecessary stress when deadlines are looming. One fundamental time management trick is to start with smaller, more manageable tasks to build momentum. Another strategy is something called the ‘Pomodoro Technique’, which alternates focused study sessions with short breaks, helping to keep you productive without feeling overwhelmed.

8. Create a Buffer for Tight Deadlines

Always allocate extra time for unexpected challenges. Whether it’s troubleshooting software or fixing errors in a model, having buffer time ensures you can manage difficult times without completely ruining your schedule. This practice is especially useful for more complex architectural projects, where unforeseen issues are common.

9. Develop Work-Life Balance

Architecture students often struggle to balance their academic and personal lives. Efficient time management involves setting boundaries to ensure adequate time for personal goals, social life, and relaxation. Schedule personal activities like exercise, hobbies, or social outings, and treat them as non-negotiable commitments.

10. Refine Your Time Management Skills

The concept of time management involves continuous learning and adaptation. Reflect on what works best for you, whether it’s using time management tools, practicing effective time management techniques, or adjusting your approach to larger projects. Becoming an effective time manager takes practice but pays off in improved productivity and reduced stress in the long run.

11. Use Regular Reviews to Stay on Track

Dedicate time at the end of each week to evaluate your progress. Review your completed tasks, identify areas where you faced difficulty with time management, and adjust your schedule for future projects accordingly.

This habit of time management keeps you proactive and in control over time, making sure that you are self-aware in the areas which you are succeeding and the areas where you might be slightly struggling.

At NewSchool of Architecture & Design, we understand the demands of an architecture education. That’s why we’re committed to supporting our students in developing effective time management skills. While it’s a skill you can begin honing even before you apply, we provide resources and guidance throughout your academic journey to help you succeed.
