概要
In this episode of Not A ‘Licensed’ Architect, Stefani Thatcher sits down with Don Titus, founder of Haven Architecture Studio. With over 25 years in the field and nearly two decades running his own business, Don shares a unique perspective shaped by both unlicensed and licensed experience.
They dive into the realities of the licensure journey—what it actually takes, where people get stuck, and why persistence matters more than perfection. Don opens up about failing multiple exams, stepping away for years, and eventually finding the support and strategy he needed to follow through.
They also explore the value of community, the importance of aligning budget with expectations, and what it looks like to design homes that truly serve the people living in them. If you’ve ever questioned your path—or your pace—this episode will give you clarity and encouragement to keep going.
