The Technical Mastery Path

Build confidence, precision, and technical fluency —

so your projects run smoother in the real world

Beautiful design only works when it’s buildable, clear, and technically sound.

The Technical Mastery Path is for designers and design teams who want to strengthen the technical side of their work — so they can communicate clearly, make confident decisions, and reduce friction with clients, contractors, and trades.

This path is customized, practical, and grounded in real projects.

What the Technical Mastery Path Is

The Technical Mastery Path offers custom technical coaching and training, tailored to your role, your projects, and your goals.

Support may be:

  • 1:1 coaching for individual designers

  • Small-group or team training for studios and design-build firms

There is no fixed curriculum and no one-size-fits-all program.

Instead, you work directly with an experienced educator to focus on exactly what will improve clarity, confidence, and execution in your work right now.

Who This Path Is For

The Technical Mastery Path is a strong fit if you:

  • Want to feel more confident translating design into buildable plans

  • Struggle with the technical side of documentation or coordination

  • Want smoother communication with contractors and trades

  • Are responsible for training or supporting a design team

  • Prefer focused, hands-on learning tied to real work

This path supports:

  • Individual designers

  • Senior designers and design managers

  • Design-build firms and studios training teams

How It Works

The Technical Mastery Path is entirely customized.

You begin with a conversation to determine the right format and focus.

  1. Schedule a discovery call with Robin

  2. Talk through your projects, skill gaps, and goals

  3. Design a coaching or training plan that fits your needs

  4. Work together on real projects, in real time

Support may be:

  • Short-term or ongoing

  • Individual or group-based

  • Narrowly focused or broad

The structure adapts to your context — not the other way around.

You don’t need to decide this upfront.
The discovery call is where clarity emerges.
