Edmond studied Architecture at University of Melbourne alongside her first husband, landscape architect Robin Edmond. She completed her Bachelor of Architecture in 1969.
As a child, Edmond"s family lived in houses designed by notable Australian architects - the Bridgeford House in Black Rock, designed by Robin Boyd in 1953. And the Quamby apartments in South Yarra, designed by Roy Grounds. She has reflected on this upbringing, noting that "from a very early age I was aware that houses I had lived in differed from those of my friends".
She remains a principal of the firm, and manages and presents much of the work.
She was described by Neil Clerehan as "probably the nation"s foremost female architect". The first published projects of Edmond and Corrigan - the Edinburgh Gardens Pavilion (design completed 1977) and Patford House (design completed 1975) in Fitzroy - were developed by Edmond alone.
Edmond also sits as chairperson of Deakin University"s Campus Planning Committee. Edmond is the daughter of Melbourne Fashion designer Linda Suchestow.
She became a member of the Deakin University Council in 1999, acting as Deputy Chancellor from 2004 to 2007.
