Maya Madison

Maya Madison is a principal at Robert P. Madison International, the Cleveland architecture firm founded by Robert P. Madison, Ohio's first licensed Black architect. A licensed architect and member of the AIA and the National Organization of Minority Architects, she brings an emphasis on community and public service to her designs and sees architecture as an art form vital to human well-being.

A graduate of Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Architecture, Madison has played key roles in designing performing arts centers, residential buildings, skyscrapers and airports. While she has worked on major developments, she finds her greatest fulfillment collaborating with BIPOC developers, entrepreneurs and underserved communities, creating spaces that represent and empower them and strengthen the cultural fabric around them.
