Georgia Birks is the Associate Editor of Architecture Media, she's on the First Nations advisory working group & cultural reference panel, is a newly appointed member of City of Melbourne Design excellence advert committee and co-curator of Asia Pacific Architect Festival.
Here she brings big energy, infectious enthusiasm & levity to conversations about her journey and new role within the architecture industry.

We’re so excited about our guest today, Quan Yeomans. Quan is a creative powerhouse. You know him through his work with the band Regurgitator, which if you’re a child of the 90’s were impossible to miss.

More recently, he has been leading regurgitator’s pogogo show, an album of pop-punk for kids, which as a father to two, is the best bloody thing that has happened to me. So, instead of badly rapping ‘the song formerly know as’, or ‘i will lick your asshole’, Nic gets to bang out with my daughters to ‘The Box’, a song about how boxes are the better presents than what comes inside them.

What drew us to this conversation was the confidence to change and move with age and audience and embrace fun, play, and silliness. All while still maintaining the same sense of quality and deep musical creativity.
