Flying Solo: Introducing the Newest EntreArchitect Podcast
In this episode of EntreArchitect, Mark R. LePage welcomes Katie Kangas, a solopreneur architect and the host of the brand-new podcast Flying Solo. Katie shares her journey from growing up in the Black Hills of South Dakota to founding her own practice, Pasque Architecture, in Minnesota. She reflects on the challenges and rewards of running a one-person firm and how her experiences inspired her to create a platform designed to encourage and support other solopreneur architects.
Mark and Katie dive into the importance of storytelling in architecture and how personal narratives can strengthen connections with clients and communities. Katie explains how her process-centered practice blends simplicity, function, and beauty to create meaningful designs. She also opens up about balancing family life with professional growth, living in Ham Lake with her husband and three young daughters, while pursuing creative passions like ceramics, writing, and kayaking.
Together, they explore why community and continuous learning matter more than ever for architects navigating the profession independently. Katie highlights the role of mentorship, peer support, and professional volunteer work through organizations like the AIA and her church. Listeners will walk away with insight into what it takes to thrive as a solopreneur architect—and how Flying Solo will serve as an inspiring resource for others ready to chart their own course.
