About This Episode
If you're a architectural designer looking to start your own side projects, create content and document your architecture journey to share online, this episode is for you.
I chat with Baran, the content creator behind Arkitolks and asked him about his journey into content creation as well as many other topics.
We also share inspiring anecdotes based on our personal experiences on own platforms like ARCHLOGBOOK and Arkitolks.
Show notes are below.
