We had the good fortune of connecting with Davit Mkrtchyan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Davit, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I always felt uncomfortable working for someone else and tried to find something that I love and can go through the stress to be my own boss. Since I worked in the architectural world from 16 years old I already had the experience to do projects from A-Z. Without any hesitation, at 19 years old of age I opened my company EHDM Group Inc with one of my friends.

What should our readers know about your business?
EHDM Group Inc is an Architectural Design Firm that provides architectural, engineering, and design solutions in residential and commercial spheres.

In the architectural world, age is an experience and it means a lot. It is not common to have young architects and designers who lead a company. This was a great challenge for us but since we prove again and again that knowledge and experience beat age our new clients didn’t focus on it and appreciated our creative minds.

We are trying to innovate and bring new experiences through architecture starting from the most basic residential houses up to bigger developments.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Los Angeles has a lot of hidden gems spread around the map. We would definitely hang around and eat at the Armenian communities in Glendale and Burbank. Since the food over there is great and you can meet and have a spontaneous experience just by walking in those areas. I would also show great music spots, especially at Pasadena Project. And of course, all of this would be supported by seeing the Getty Museum, Disney Concert hall, Capitol Records, etc.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Being an immigrant in the united states pushed me to grow up mentally and start taking care of my family from a young age. My family always supported me and I never heard a negative word about my passion from them.
