Omid is a Registered Architect [RAIA] and Registered Landscape Architect [AILA] with over 15 years of experience in Australia, the UK and the Middle East, contributing to architectural, urban, and environmental projects, with responsibilities including design and documentation, research and report writing, and project management.
I first met Omid in 2015. He struck me as passionate, creative and open-minded about his options in Australia. After 7 years working for architectural firms in Australia, he has decided to start his own business – Omid Architects – which will no doubt bring him independent and the associated challenges of ‘going it alone’.
In our conversation, Omid talks about:
- Immigration expectations & reality
- Difference between Perth & Melbourne/Sydney
- Geographical isolation
- Australian workplace culture
- Job seeking revelations
- Working as an architect in Australia
- Local experience
- Career progression
- Working as an independent consultant as opposed to being an employee
