The Real Cost of Undertrained Staff

Most architecture firms don’t have a scalable, consistent way to train junior staff. And let’s be honest - your senior team doesn’t have time to explain redlines again.

Costly Mistakes

Inconsistent training leads to repeated errors, rework, and missed deadlines that eat into your profits.

Bottlenecked Seniors

Your experienced staff are stuck re-explaining tasks instead of moving projects forward or mentoring strategically.

Slow Onboarding

New hires take months to get up to speed without clear, structured training they can follow independently.

Knowledge Gaps

Junior staff struggle with real-world tasks like documentation, detailing, and workflow without practical resources.

Katelyn Rossier

Katelyn Rossier is a licensed architect and visionary educator who founded mentorDINO LLC to revolutionize how the architecture profession approaches mentoring and professional development. Recognizing the critical gap between academic training and real-world practice, Katelyn observed firsthand how middle and senior-level staff were stretched thin - juggling demanding project workloads while simultaneously training the next generation of architects. With extensive experience in architectural mentorship, she has successfully led summer intern programs at firms with over 40 team members, personally interviewed and onboarded more than 20 new hires, and served in multiple mentoring capacities including career coach, NCARB supervisor, and ACE mentor.

Katelyn has a deep love for mentorship and technical training. After years in practice, she founded mentorDINO Academy to bridge the gap between school and the real world of architecture. Her teaching style is clear, practical, and grounded in real project experience, with a focus on helping recent grads and junior staff build confidence in detailing, documentation, and project management.

COMING SOON: Guest instructors and industry experts will be joining the Academy to share their specialized knowledge in areas like building science, construction admin, and code compliance. Your team will benefit from a growing roster of voices and perspectives, all focused on the practical skills architects need every day.
