Courses & Coaching for Architecture Students

Your secret weapon in architecture school


 

Hi, I’m Sonia Nicolson - Architect, Former University Lecturer & Mentor.

I help first year architecture students build confidence in hand drawing and design so they can stand out, impress their tutors, and enjoy their studies without feeling overwhelmed.

 
 
 

As seen in: Design Exchange, SBID (Society of British and International Interior Design), Erlendur Magazine, Hey Iceland, and Business Insider – featuring press coverage of Sonia Nicolson, Architect and Creative Educator.

I went from a struggling high school student to a Chartered Architect, published academic, and British Council representative, now mentoring the next generation of architects to build confidence in hand drawing and design from day one.
