Hey listeners, in this episode, I have a conversation with Jodi van der Wiel, A member of the AIA College of Fellows and past president of the AIA Cleveland chapter, Jodi is known for her design work and diligent efforts to foster diversity, equity and inclusion for women and minorities. She is a principal and project designer with Moody Nolan, a national practice, known for its design process and diversity of thought.

Jodi left me feeling truly inspired by her unwavering passion for architecture and her dedication to introducing young girls to the field. In our conversation, she shared her background in architecture, her early inspirations, and the journey that motivated her to create a course aimed at introducing the next generation of girls to the profession.

We sketched a project of hers in Ohio - Process Technology. You can check out her sketch on our LinkedIn profile. I hope you enjoy this episode!
