Brian Corcodilos is a natural-born leader and entrepreneur. During his third year of architecture school, he started a blog called Designblendz that focused on collaborating different principles of design. What started out as a fun escape from school work with his friends, soon began picking up traction from local firms. In no time, the team began receiving architectural and visualization jobs including renderings and hand-built models. After graduation in 2013, everyone set off into the real world and took on their “dream” jobs in different corporate firms. Designblendz remained a side hustle, but Brian had a vision. In 2014 he quit his steady full-time job, and jumped head first into building his startup from his row home bedroom. Fast forward to 2022 and Brian oversees 25 employees at Designblendz, recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in America in 2020 on the INC 5000 list at #579. They were also one of Philadelphia’s fastest growing companies for the last 4 years. Brian and the Designblendz team are disrupting the real estate industry by utilizing the most advanced 3D visualization technology to help clients design, market, pre-sell and lease real estate virtually around the nation. DB is a one-stop shop for any design-build project and also offers all architecture, 3D visualization, metaverse marketing, and real estate development services. Brian has a passion for teaching and loves to help drive others to success.
