'The True Art Behind the Word Architecture' w/ Vincent Myers

Welcome to season 2, episode 18 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.

This week my guest is Vincent Myers, President and co-founding member of DIGroup Architecture. DIGroup Architecture is an award-winning minority owned architectural firm headquartered in New Brunswick, NJ. The organization specializes in architecture, planning, interior design, environmental graphics, signage and wayfinding services for senior living, education, healthcare and civic clients. 

Vince and I talk about how his dad, Harvey truly inspired him to go into architecture. Harvey served as a role model for Vince and was one of the first African American licensed architects in NJ. Due to Vince’s tremendous passion for the work he does, he also enjoys mentoring students who are interested in a career in architecture. 

Vince serves as a guest speaker on the future of aging, sharing insights with leading developers and operators of senior living communities. 

We discuss how the pandemic affected the architecture industry and how DIGroup Architecture pivoted to help their clients in many other unique ways. 

You will clearly be able to hear what it feels like seeing a project go from the planning stages to completion, and then seeing that space be utilized by those it was intended for. Think of the space you are in right now as you listen to this. Someone had a vision, worked with an architect and brought it to life. 

Take a listen to the end of the podcast where Vince answers the question what is the footprint you are creating now that  you want to leave behind?
