In this episode, we're exploring the intersection of design, community, and sustainability with two inspiring women who are reshaping the built environment. Tina Ranieri-D’Ovidio and Hagit Waisman are the founding Principals of ward99 architects, a firm known for creating award-winning public spaces that reflect the diverse communities they serve. With decades of experience and a shared passion for sustainable, people-centered design, Tina and Hagit are proving that architecture can be a powerful tool for connection and change. In a field where only 33% of architects in Canada are women, their leadership is not only groundbreaking—it’s helping pave the way for greater equity in the profession.
