Silvia Lee

Silvia Lee is a licensed architect with over a decade of experience in small and large NYC architectural offices. Always curious and open to new opportunities, Silvia entered the tech startup world as a community marketing manager. Using her background as an architect, she continues her passion for executing ideas into experiences.

She is now the Director of Customer Success at Layer, a tech startup creating tools for the AEC industry. Silvia knows firsthand that the skills developed to be a good architect—such as attention to detail, understanding client goals, and being a strong communicator—are also highly valuable in the startup world. She enjoys wearing many hats and contributing to many different parts of the company at Layer.

Silvia also hosts and produces the Tangents podcast by Out of Architecture. By sharing stories of untraditional paths in architecture, she hopes to bring more awareness to the wide variety of skills and talents that architects have, while offering support and encouragement to those who have been frustrated with the industry.
