Facebook is over. I’m moving on now, and you should to.

Healthcare design has dominated my life this spring semester. At first, I was worried it would be very boring and sterile to design healthcare environments because, let’s face it, majority of the healthcare spaces in existence at the moment are super boring and sterile.

Humans spend upwards of 90% of our time indoors.
The spaces we inhabit shape how we feel, how we behave toward another. They shape our health and wellness. They shape our lives.
Interior designers shape everything within our interior environment, from the places where we get our food to the spaces we go to be healed from illness. Interior designers shape our classrooms and libraries, offices and workstations, homes and houses of worship.
Better spaces mean better lives for everyone in the community. That’s why interior design matters.
