P E R S O N A L S T A T E M E N TDesign encompasses a complex nature. While we celebrate and enjoy good andthoughtful design for the joy it brings to users, we are often uncomfortable andsometimes even anxious when we experience poor design.As a child I was hospitalized for a life-threatening disease. The stress and burdensthat my family and I carried during my stay were insurmountable, and theconditions in which we were cared for in regards to the built environment wererather forlorn.

Myinspiration for each design ultimately comes from creation and the inherent beautyand intricate systems that it contains.I strive to create places wherein people are served, rather than hindered by theirenvironment. This is why I take great care to research; these researched spacesdisplay the holistic approach of evidence-based design and the subsequentrichness of human interaction that results from it. I echo the great architect LouisSullivan that “form follows function”. However, I would also add that form ought tobe integrated into function. While we study and research the purpose of the spacefirst during the design process, the creative nature of our profession allows us tonot only create useful spaces, but ones that inspire and connect— that allow allpeople to grow and thrive.I returned home from that hospital different from when I came in.
