Jake Rudin is a designer-turned-strategist and co-founder of Out of Architecture, a career resource network helping architects and designers find their footing beyond traditional practice. With a background spanning Cornell, Harvard GSD, and an MBA from Quantic School of Business, he has built a career that crosses design, technology, and leadership — including leading teams in Computational Design and Digital Technologies at Adidas.

He is also the co-author of the book Out of Architecture, published by Routledge, and has coached hundreds of designers through career pivots into tech, product, strategy, and beyond. His work is rooted in the belief that the skills built in architecture school are more transferable — and more valuable — than most designers realize.
