Our speakers for this episode are Perth architects Michelle Blakeley and Leonie Matthews, each of whom have wide-ranging, non-linear careers.
Leonie and Michelle speak about their mirror experiences of exploring other fields of work, and how their skills have transferred across to architecture.
Wide-ranging backgrounds and skills gained from previous work include nursing that provided discipline and empathy, teaching toned one’s listening skills and ability to articulate and review work whereas advertising and journalism taught alternative ways of operating in the industry and the importance of communication skills. They detail how their journeys in unexpected places led to their personal growth and career trajectories in architecture.
They both agree on how important it is to build relationships with clients, solve even the smallest of problems, and the architect’s innate gift of questionable presentation skills.
