Design for acute care that elevates wellness

Our designers, planners and engineers are dedicated to creating the optimal patient, family and staff experience—integrating the most innovative technologies, applying evidence-based principles for safety and efficiency, and using environmental strategies to maximize access to nature, light and less toxic materials in pursuit of Health.  We eagerly embrace the challenges of balancing privacy, noise control, and comfort for patients and families with care delivery.

I enjoy the range of activities in design. From developing strategy to the details of getting a renovation project done, I get energized by engaging with my clients.
