Bryn Young is an architect, educator, and creator dedicated to helping aspiring architects succeed in their architectural licensing journey. She founded the ABC Club and Mind Over ARE, which both provide practical resources and guidance for Architect Registration Examination (ARE) candidates.
Bryn also shares insights on architecture, studying, and balancing life through her YouTube channel and podcast.
We talk about:
- Bryn’s determination to complete her Master of Architecture thesis despite a due date in the middle of the academic year. We talk about how openly communicating with her professors helped her successfully complete her work with a newborn in tow.
- Failing the AREs and the huge impact that sharing her story online had on Bryn’s career.
- Bryn’s experience launching a design firm, pivoting after licensure, and eventually stepping back from client work to focus on education, impact, and creative freedom.
- Her emphasis on mindset, balance, and self-awareness in lieu of memorization when preparing for the AREs and how these strategies have evolved into a business providing guidance and support to other future architects.
