    Episode #32 - IFAD mini series part 9 - Transforming workplace health and productivity with Margie Rahmann - Director at Edmiston Jones

    Episode Notes Today Penny and I got to speak to Margie Rahmann interior designer and director at Edmiston Jones (EJ). EJ are a practice heavily involved in the built environment of the Illawarra with offices in Wollongong, Nowra and Batemans Bay. The practice has a multidisciplinary team that includes architects, landscape architects, project managers and interior designers that work across five different sectors being health, education, residential, aged care and industrial.   Margie has a passion for workplace design – specifically the idea of what EJ calls co-design. This is a process where Margie asks project users and client to reveal a “day in their life” experience of what they do at work, their experience getting to and from work and more. This information feeds into the design development thus giving clients and users a greater sense of ownership of the design and by extension the end build.     Margie speaks to examples of this as applied to the recently Women’s Trauma Recovery Centre and another project at the University of Wollongong.   We go into Margie’s backstory that led to Interior Design and recall a great analogy Margie put forward last year as a panellist at IFAD linking good robust and highly considered design to clothing. More about Margie Margie started with EJ in 2014, becoming an Associate Director in 2018 and a Director in 2020. She is experienced in architectural interior design with a background in health, commercial, high-end residential, aged care and exhibitions. She has previously been a university educator of design courses as well as course content developer with diploma level design courses. Margie leads the Interiors Team and heads the Health and Wellbeing Sector. She is an experienced engagement professional and advocate for co-design and champions EJ’s methodology now applied to various enterprises, not-for-profits and educational facilities. aej.com.au https://www.instagram.com/edmistonjonesand/ Illawarra Festival of Architecture and Design https://ifad.net.au/ https://www.instagram.com/ifad/ Co host Penny Keogh https://www.linkedin.com/in/pennykeogh/ Host Michael Clarke https://www.michaelclarkearchitects.com/ https://www.instagram.com/clarchitect/
