Welcome to the Layers of Design Podcast. I'm your host, Ebehi. As always, I appreciate you tuning into our episodes!

It's been a tough couple of weeks for the citizens of Nigeria. Being from Lagos, Nigeria myself, it's important for me to keep raising awareness and supporting the efforts of all Nigerians in putting an end to police brutality as well as bad governance. As a designer, I am curious on how design and architecture can help in rebuilding Nigeria to be a great country that can truly utilize the skills and talents of its citizens.

So, in this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelechi Chukwueke, an Interior Architect and the founder of Sip&Paint Culture based in Abuja, Nigeria. She studied Interior Design at Drexel University, in Philadelphia. She's passionate about art, and design, and strives to bring this passion into all of her projects. Kelechi hopes to inspire a wave of young Nigerians to expand their minds through design and visual arts.

She shares with us her experience studying Interior Design as an international student, what she is currently focusing on and her thoughts on how design and architecture can help Nigeria grow!

This episode is rather interesting. I have a conversation with Hannah Van Essendelft, a self taught abstract artist who is inspired by the architecture in different cities. She creates beautiful compositions of buildings that uniquely represents their identities and at the same time, relates to the other buildings within the piece.

We dive into her process, how she got started, the parts of buildings she focuses on when she creates her abstract compositions, and we talk about the importance of having a strong support system. I hope you enjoy this episode and it reminds you of the beauty that can be found in our cities!
