Designing for Wellness: Neena Folliott & Meg MacPherson on Crafting a Unique Space
Dec 27, 2022Neena Folliott and Meg MacPherson are practicing physiotherapists with over 25 years of experience between them. They have created Articulate Design Co. to bring thoughtful design to the forefront of healthcare and elevate the experience for all.
"Your physical space is so integral to understanding and optimizing how you're going to generate income. We see this far too often that people don't design for growth, so they're left with choppy layouts where people are working on top of each other, or they're just not optimizing the space for the areas that actually make them money."
Meg and Nina, two experienced physiotherapists, had a keen interest in design and decided to create Articulate Design Co. to bridge the gap between clinical care and design. Through their company, they have designed clinics all over the world with the mission of creating spaces that match the talent and care of the practitioners within them. They believe that thoughtful design is important for businesses, as it can affect the client journey and the provider journey. They also advise practice owners to prioritize design in their budget, follow through on the design plan, and inject their own personality into the space. They emphasize that it is never too early to start thinking about space design.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
- Why is space design important for businesses, and how does it affect the client journey?
- What are the top three design errors clinicians make and how can they be avoided?
- How can collaboration between architects, web designers, and brand packaging professionals help create a cohesive space?
