About StudioLedger

At StudioLedger, we help architects make more calculated, confident business decisions—so they can stay focused on what they do best: great design.

This isn’t generic business consulting. We know the pressures of a deadline, the frustration of changing client expectations, and the complexity of balancing design vision with real-world constraints. And although not everything is quantifiable, I still appreciate the sentiment attributed to Peter Drucker saying "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." We help you see your firm through a business lens, without compromising your creative values.

Helping Architecture Firms Balance Design with Business

About Matthew Johnson

I’ve spent nearly two decades in the architecture industry, supporting projects from early pursuits through construction and taking on many roles.

My experience spans a wide range of project types, including corporate campuses, convention centers, educational facilities, government buildings, hospitality, science and technology, tenant improvements, urban planning, and workplace design. I’ve built teams, developed and managed budgets, tracked progress, and seen how firms actually operate.

What became clear is that great design isn’t just about delivering great buildings, it's also about establishing good relationships and running a great business.

StudioLedger was created to help architecture firms bring structure, visibility and discipline to the business side of practice, so principals can scale with confidence.
