Episode 04: Megan Feenstra Wall | The Lift
Earlier this year, Nikki spoke with Megan Feenstra Wall, architect and newly named Principal at Mathison | Mathison Architects in Grand Rapids. On top of her expertise in both commercial and residential architecture, she is also the current President of American Institute of Architects (AIA) West Michigan Chapter – the first woman to hold the position. She is not only a fantastic leader of architectural design in her own right, but she also strives to make architecture as a profession more equitable and healthy for all. Their discussion touches on the differences in design ideals internationally, women in architecture, the affects of space on overall wellbeing, and how they’re approaching 2021 differently. Please enjoy Megan Feenstra Wall, AIA.

Episode 01: Mel Trombley | The Lift
In this inaugural episode of ‘The Lift’, I meet with well-renowned Mel Trombley, Director of Leadership Programs for the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce. I’ve heard so much about Mel in the two-years since she’s joined the chamber so it was an absolute pleasure to talk with her one-on-one for the very first time. As someone who also is also very familiar to in-person connection and networking pre-pandemic, we discuss how the community experience has changed, how resources are being allocated differently, and how us “people persons” are getting on without the socialization we crave. A former educator, I learned that Mel is uniquely qualified encourage the most growth of Grand Rapids leaders in the programs she runs, including ATHENA, an affinity group dedicated to the professional development of women leaders. We talk about personal traits in those that we admire and finally, I ask the ultimate question to reflect on – who is she lifting up and who is lifting her up day after day? Enjoy!

Episode 5: Healthcare | A New Way of Working
For most of us, patient care offices are buildings we visit when seeking medical treatment (and largely avoid while we’re healthy). But these spaces are every day workplaces for healthcare workers. While the healthcare industry adjusts to an abrupt mass-shift to virtual care, what happens to patient treatment facilities in the future? Are waiting rooms a thing of the past? Here, we talk with Vice President of Design at Enviah Environments for Health, and Metro Health Foundation board member, Laurie Placinski, for answers to these questions and more.
