In this episode, I spoke to Australian architect and interior designer Fiona Dunin from FMD Architects about her Melbourne-based practice. Fiona is an architect who trained initially as an interior designer. She speaks about how this training has helped her and her practice to hone in on the interior details seeing them as just as necessary as the overall design of spaces. In today's episode, I wanted to know more about how Fiona and her team use storytelling in the design process, as it's something that stood out to me as being important to their work. We also discuss: ✨ Her background in interior design ✨ How she feels about 3D modelling and the ways she communicates the design to the client ✨ Persuading clients and challenging the brief ✨ Working with consultants At the end of the episode, I ask Fiona to give her top tips about communication, and I share some expressions you could try when you want to challenge the brief. If you would like to find out more about Fiona Dunin and her practice, FMD Architects, you'll find images for all the building we discussed on the episode page as well all on the FMD Architects website. ✨ Extended Show Notes and Full Transcript: http://www.archienglish.com/post/how-to-use-storytelling-to-connect-to-your-clients-with-fiona-dunin-fmd-architects Recommended episodes: Episode 1: How to Build Your English Confidence: for Architects and Built Design Professionals https://www.archienglish.com/post/how-to-build-your-english-confidence-for-architects-and-built-design-professionals Episode 2: What Does it Mean to Think Like an Architect?
