Using your design skills to build a business and deliver a product.
Guest:
Moe Amaya, Co-Founder, Monograph
In a series we’re calling “Architecture, And”, we explore how individuals trained in architecture are adapting their skills into careers outside of the traditional architecture studio. In Episode #013 we speak with Monograph Co-Founder Moe Amaya. In partnership with his team, Moe has built a San Francisco-based startup focused on designing software to help architects and engineers oversee projects, timesheets, and forecasts in one, integrated and simple interface. We asked Moe about his journey into technology and entrepreneurship, and what skills from his architectural education directly translate into the work he’s doing now.
