Leah Ephrem, AIA, LEED AP, Assoc. DBIA
As the leader of the Transportation Architecture studio at HEWITT, Leah is motivated by connecting communities and people. Her passion and careful attention to the specific goals and character of each community is evident in the light rail, commuter rail and multi-modal transit centers she designs.
With more than 25 years of architecture experience, including over 15 years of urban transit facility design, Leah is helping shape the Puget Sound’s infrastructure as it prepares for anticipated growth and increased mobility demands. She has successfully directed and managed preliminary engineering and final design in architecture and urban design for a large array of regional transportation projects for Sound Transit, working in collaboration with King County Metro, Seattle DOT and multiple municipalities.
