How a good design contributes to the well-being of a community (with Ebehi Diaz) - a podcast by Elena Agaragimova

In this episode of Shift, I chat with Ebehi Diaz - an architectural designer based in Atlanta, GA. With over 6 years of experience in the design and construction industry, she has worked with architecture firms in Lagos, Miami and Atlanta gaining experience in the profession.

Ebehi is a self motivated designer who believes that good design contributes to the well-being of a community. She has a vast knowledge of various architectural programs which help her effectively design and produce drawings for commercial, healthcare, educational, aviation, civic, commercial, multifamily and retail projects. Currently working towards becoming a licensed architect in Georgia and Florida, Ebehi searches for clients and communities that challenge her knowledge of architecture.

Her passions for design and community development led her to create a design podcast and studio - Layers of Design, a platform where designers, architects and artists alike share their stories and experiences in the design field. Layers of design participate in competitions that explore solutions to issues within different communities, host events that spark conversations and inspire the community through volunteer experiences. Going into its 4th year, Layers of Design is working with different community leaders to facilitate programs that enhance their surroundings through design.

Aside from building Layers of Design, Ebehi works at an engineering firm as a designer on industrial projects and sits on the board of directors of AIA Atlanta and NOMA Atlanta as the Communications Director and Professional Development Director respectively. She enjoys reading, hiking and traveling.
