Architect Nick Oushakoff, founder of Grayscale Architecture in Roseville, California and Sacramento 40 Under 40 honoree, breaks down what architects actually do and how AI is about to reshape the profession.

We talk about the real difference between an architect and a drafter, where home design trends come from, why open floor plans took over, how Nick already uses AI in his firm, California building codes and permit fees, why homes have become so expensive, and his advice for young aspiring architects. He also shares the story behind his proudest project: a food bank in Rancho Cordova designed like a real grocery store.
