Welcome to Nearly One-Fourth, the podcast dedicated to being a space for women in architecture sharing their experiences in the profession. On today's episode I am happy to welcome Katherine Aida Serrano Sosa to the Nearly One-Fourth Community.

Katherine is a NYS licensed architect who is native to El Salvador. Coming to the USA at the age of seven, she has set her roots in New York with a sense of respect and appreciation to her Salvadorean roots, as well.

Katherine graduated from the Spitzer School of Architecture in the Macaulay Honors 

College at CCNY in 2016, and in September of 2019 she became licensed in New York. With over eight years of work experience, she has worked on various types of projects at different scales and phases.

With her experience and knowledge, in 2021, she decided to create Rooted Architecture Studio as a gateway to help others understand the process of design and construction, as well as express her design language. To Katherine, design is spatial problem solving and each project is a resolution to the client’s seen or unforeseen problems/needs.

In this episode Katherine and I unpack many topics including but not limited to:

Achieving Licensure;

Being young in the profession;

Starting a firm, what is it like?;

This list is just the tip of the iceberg of what Katherine and I talked about. We had a great conversation and I am excited to share it with you all!

Thank you all for tuning in to the first episode of Nearly One-Fourth! I hope you enjoy joining the community!
