Because getting shift done is hard

A community inspiring and supporting architects forging change for themselves and within the world

      Hey, thanks for dropping by! 👋🏼    
We've started something new over at

                   unmeasured...                   


working with architects to forge better human and professional skills

                     Please come by and take a look around                 



Whether you're starting out, seeking change, working to go further, or wanting to level up as a leader, Ed Shift is where you'll find the tools and support you need to be successful and effect (r)evolution in the way you do your work as an architect.


So… What is Ed Shift exactly?

Ed Shift assists architects to make the changes to more effectively do your work and assisting you in becoming a leader.

As Architects, we can find ourselves doing our best creative thinking for our clients, forgetting to utilise our design thinking skills for ourselves. Ed Shift is a space for architects to instead work for yourself, developing skills and abilities, building upon the knowledge and creative thinking you already possess.

Ed Shift recognises that everyone is different, accommodating everyone where you’re at in the world, working with your unique skills and abilities. Some people need a lot of assistance, some a little nudge, but when you join we promise:

Support | Insights | Resources | Community | Accountability | Live events | Workshops | Coaching | The right question(s) to move you forward

At Ed Shift we’ve got your back, there’s no need to struggle alone.


What am I going to get out of it?

Leadership & Personal Design Skills

You'll become more comfortable in making changes to how you work that you were too afraid to embrace, changes you didn’t know were possible or those changes required but you didn’t know you needed.

You'll be excited to leap into new realms, doing better work and going further.

For those that are stuck and can’t seem to shift, we'll help you become unstuck.

You will become a leader and a better leader.


What are others getting out of it?

Ed Shift’s founder, Michael Lewarne, has coached many people from a range of different backgrounds, not just architects. Holding space, seeing and hearing them, asking the right questions and introducing them to new tools. Forging insights, facilitating new approaches and materialising opportunities previously unforeseen. Helping them to achieve what they hadn't thought possible.

Michael is, however, merely a part of this process. There is also strength in the community and what everyone brings, in understanding that you are not alone, and you don’t need to put in the work alone. Everyone has abilities and insights that they can contribute along with supporting each other in their work.

These possibilities and work are an infinite game, we are all here to play.
