Listen "Episode 057 - Thoughtful Leadership"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the Layers of Design Podcast! I'm your host, Ebehi. Thank you for tuning in and if this is your first time, welcome!
After over a year of inactivity on this side of the design world, we’re back with more stories and projects to share!
Our first guest back is someone I’d say is a thoughtful and inspiring leader. I'd like to introduce you to Emily Schickner, AIA. Emily is a licensed architect and the first female Principal Architect at Harrison Design Studio in Atlanta, Georgia. She has led over 2 million square feet of design and construction, from cottage style homes to over 450K square feet of mixed-use, multi-family, and senior living developments. Prior to joining Harrison Design, Emily spent a decade in commercial architecture focused on private education, country & golf clubhouse and hospitality design.
Emily currently serves a three-year term on AIA Atlanta’s Board of Directors as 2023 President, which is where we connected. She has also served as the AIA South Atlantic Young Architect Regional Director, graduated from the Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program, and this year, was honored by receiving Georgia’s Emerging Professional Award. Emily Schickner enjoys balancing work and volunteer with time with her family, long runs outdoors, hiking, cooking and travelling to experience different areas of the world.
In this episode, we dive into different areas of the architecture profession in relation to mental health, being a female leader, taking the AREs and so much more. I enjoyed working on this episode because we shared personal and professional aspects of working as a designer and an architect on a daily basis. Enjoy!
General Podcast Update: In addition to each audio episode, we’ll be creating short video interviews where we’ll ask our guests a few questions in a space they resonate with. We’re hoping this gives you more insight to our guest. So, If you haven't watched Emily’s video interview on our Instagram page, head over to @layersofdesign_ to watch it!
