MISSION

Americans spend an average of 90% of time indoors. (PRE-COVID!) This has only been the case in the latter part of our century. Recent studies prove what we've intuitively known all along; we respond positively (both emotionally and physically) to interiors enhanced by connections to the outdoor environment. Within my practice, I use color and light theory and environmental psychology to integrate cues from nature to lower stress, stimulate activity, increase productivity and create a healing environment that engages the senses. By designing the built environment to maximize the physical and psychological benefits we derive from direct interaction with natural environments and cycles we create spaces that reflect what we need from the natural world.
