From Colombia to L.A. | An Architect's Story of Passion and PersistenceLuis was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, where he also received his bachelor’s degree in Architecture at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in 1994. Although his birthplace was in the mountains, he always dreamed of living near the ocean where he could embrace his passion for an outdoor lifestyle. In 1997, the opportunity to work at a Los Angeles based design firm presented itself, so he chose to move his young, growing family to California. With his fun personality and serious dedication to architectural design, Luis’s career flourished in Los Angeles. In early 2010 Luis established LMD Architecture Studio. Focusing on his own professional practice he aims to achieve design excellence through efficiency, innovation, and responsible use of materials and forms, always motivated by his Colombian roots and ‘can do’ attitude. His return client list is a testimony to his joyful work ethic, innovative mastery of design and devotion to be personally present in every phase of a project. Luis continues pursuing his goal to orchestrate design solutions that influence and shape the client’s vision into reality, and to enhance their lifestyle.

Permit Expediting for Small Firm ArchitectsJesse graduated from Florida International University (FIU) in 2012 with a degree in International Business. At the same time, he joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and successfully completed Officer Candidates School (OCS) during their service.After graduation, Jesse moved to the DC Metropolitan area from Miami and began working at GEICO, aiming for a management role through their Supervisor Leadership Program (SLP). However, he faced a challenge of maximizing his income without further education. He decided to explore bartending as a side job due to its high earning potential and flexible hours.Getting into bartending was tough, with Jesse initially facing rejections from local bars. He started working as nightclub security, finally got a job as a barback, then as a bartender at a busy nightclub, where he saw the power of sales as he earned more in one night than a week at GEICO.Jesse eventually left GEICO and found an opportunity in permit expediting for a gas pipeline project in Baltimore County, MD. This new industry allowed him to combine his sales skills and scalability. A year later, Jesse founded City Permit, expanding its services from serving only DC clients to helping commercial and residential clients across the country. Getting a building permit, whether for residential or commercial projects, can be complicated and time-consuming. City Permit's experienced team simplifies the process. They ensure submissions are complete and accurate, facilitate communication between stakeholders, track the review process, and securely store project documents online for 24/7 access.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Permit Expediting for Small Firm Architects with Jesse Tart. Connect with Jesse at City Permit, contact him at [email protected], or follow him on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.Please visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design ProcessDavid Warfel is an overly sensitive, marginally materialistic, pseudo-tree-hugging Midwestern farm boy turned lighting designer. He’s been either lucky, talented, or wealthy enough to land design gigs from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Las Vegas’ Luxor and MGM Grand casinos, from Chicago’s Hyde Park Arts Center and Museum of Science and Industry to residential and hospitality projects in a dozen states, and from schools and churches to multiple Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Judging from the old Honda in his driveway, it isn’t personal wealth.David finally figured out what to do with his life when he hit his 40’s and bought a foam mattress online. It was so easy to spend thousands without leaving his office that he wondered why you couldn’t get lighting design the same way, so he started Light Can Help You and his team now designs residential and hospitality projects nationwide and beyond.David’s work and writing have been featured in lots of places that no one could find without Google, like Technology Designer, Fine Homebuilding, Designing Lighting, Lighting & Sound America, Lighting Australia, Lighting Design & Application, Live Design, Theatrical Design & Technology, and on Houzz.com but he is usually reading Inspector Gamache novels or writing whatever comes into his head at his blog.This week on EntreArchitect podcast, The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design Process with David Warfel.Learn more about David at Light Can Help You and Language of Light, and connect with him on LinkedIn or YouTube.Please visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

5 Steps To a More Productive BIM ProcessChris finished his Bachelor of Architecture from University of Idaho in 1991 where his thesis was the first to be completed entirely in CAD. From there he worked as an intern for a small architecture firm working on small commercial and residential projects and assisted the company switching from hand drafting to CAD. This was followed by a couple years of concrete construction and further internship with a design build firm focusing on high-end residential as well as CAD and IT Manager. Chris then shifted out of architecture for a little over a year working as a computer hardware/software consultant. It was during this time in 1997 that he was exposed to his first "BIM" technology. This technology had by far the biggest impact on his career. In 1997, he founded Visual Motion, Inc. (now BIM6x) providing software solutions, business consulting, training, and outsourcing connections/services.Chris has been fortunate to work in a variety of positions related to architecture, construction, and technology as well as a small business owner. This experience has enabled him to work with thousands of great designers, contractors, and engineers over the past 30 years. Also, this diverse experience is very beneficial whether he is working with the principal/owner, designer, intern, or IT staff. He believes work should be fun and enjoys helping clients to “create buildings better with BIM”.This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, 5 Steps To a More Productive BIM Process with Chris Clark.Learn more about Chris at BIM6X, connect with him on LinkedIn.Please visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

Pushing Beyond the Boundaries of Architecture at Nomi DesignMelody Farris Jackson, LEED AP, is a visual artist and designer that works between many scales and types of spatial design. Since joining Nomi, she has specialized in the development of branded environments using both architectural and fabricated elements to create unique and custom experiences in architecture. From furniture and installations to campus planning, Melody brings creative solutions to 3 share the narrative and poetic expression of space. As a designer, she has worked on creative concepts for Nike, Siemens, Toyota, and Keurig. She has served as faculty for architecture at the University of Kentucky and for art at Eastern Kentucky University. Melody received her Master of Architecture from Cornell University. As an artist, Melody has had work displayed in galleries in New York, and Kentucky and is currently on display at the Clark Regional Medical Center in Winchester, Kentucky.Matthew Brooks, AIA, is the owner and founder of Nomi Design. His comprehensive body of work spans a wide variety of project types and sizes. Informed by his experience working with Herbert Beckhard (a former partner of the Bauhaus master, Marcel Breuer), Matthew subscribes to the philosophy that the strength of any architectural project lies in its unique set of components: Variations in the type, scale, scope, history and budget of a project influence innovation and design elements, thereby generating a uniquely specific response to each design challenge.
