About Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Erika Culmer. Notre Dame graduate and licensed architect. I've spent most of my career focusing on mentorship and training in the field of architecture.
I've taken disorganized teams that were losing money and created systems for success and learning that allowed us to turn-over fast paced, ever-changing projects for a profit. All with less stress and re-work.
Empowering individuals and teams with proper training and processes make a huge difference in both profits and employee satisfaction. I've made it my mission to equip architectural professionals with the tools they need to thrive in our field.
Subscribe below for my monthly newsletter, filled with tips on thriving in architecture and making the most out of your career.
