Nic DeMore
Architecture Educator & Home Design Enthusiast
After spending years navigating the gap between dreaming about a home and actually understanding how to design one, I created the course I wish existed when I started.
Foundations of Architecture breaks down complex architectural concepts into approachable, actionable lessons that anyone can follow — whether you want to sketch your ideas or write a detailed plan.
This isn't a path to becoming a licensed architect. It's the knowledge you need to design with intention and communicate your vision with confidence.
