Ep 09 The Benefits of Involved Office Management with Selma Göker Wilson
January 29, 2023
As project manager, Selma explains the benefits of transitioning to a paper-free office. She talks about why she loves the design process and encourages other project managers to get involved, too. She also talks about the role of tools in the design process: from empowering architects and giving them a sense of responsibility to making design more accessible outside of the office, such as during COVID-19 lockdowns.
An involved project architect can make a huge difference in your architecture firm. Project architects who are also project managers can get involved in all aspects of projects, understand and assist in the design process, and know when to step in at any time.
Our own project architect/manager, Selma Göker Wilson, joins me to talk about her experience as an architect and what she loves about working at Schimberg Group. She explains how she had originally wanted to become an interior designer but transitioned into architecture. One thing she loves about working with our company is the inclusive culture because it makes it a positive workplace.
