What skills did you gain from architecture school, or working in the architecture industry, that have contributed to your success in your current career?
The value of iteration, and working very long hours on the same problem to find the right solution—having that diligence is something that architecture school teaches you. It also forces you to look at everything spatially. Architecture school made me see the web in a similar way and to understand how people use different kinds of web space in different ways, and for different purposes, has helped me formulate decisions on how people will use Pinterest. I’d say architecture school helped me learn how to approach design problems generally—that and to drink a lot of caffeine.- Evan Sharp, Co-Founder of Pinterest
