You can Architect. Noun.. A person. Design. Verb "Better would be to design a solution that works universally." "I think I'm going to fisherman some fish today" "He was going to priest to the congregation" "She wanted to prostitute him" (!) "Mike mechanic'ed the dashboard in his car." (if you saw what the mechaninc did to his car you'd understand that this is not a good thing). While they have "humour" value and I can even imagine a marginal use for them, in storytelling, there is a perfectly good english verb.. "design" , that is shorter and more succinct.
