STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
Incorporating a background in the Fine Arts, lifelong exposure to the construction industry, and a passion for the physical sciences, I have spent 28 years of professional practice focusing on the various aspects of the process of creating environments that promote wellness. My work over the years has garnered numerous awards and encompasses the entirety of architectural practice:
Programming
Masterplanning
Entitlements
Existing Facility Assessment
Project Management
Design
Medical Equipment Planning
Interior Architecture
Technical Documentation
Construction Administration
Post-Occupancy Review
Forensic Testing and Investigation
My ongoing research includes the neurophysiological response to affective environments as they relate to the promotion of wellness in the design of buildings. As a John C. Patterson, AIA Memorial Research Fellowship recipient, I delivered a paper in 2009 proposing the first structural model for the Biophilic Effect involving Orchestrated Objective Reduction within sub-neuronal protein tubelin dimer assemblies.
More recently, I've applied the planning and design principles that create successful healthcare environments to other building types, including private residences. Occupant-centered design coupled with rigorous technical documentation not usually seen in residential and commercial Projects has generated well-received solutions.
