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.

I have a conversation with Hannah Van Essendelft, a self taught abstract artist who is inspired by the architecture in different cities.
