Designer Profile

As a licensed architect and NCIDQ-certified design professional, I bring a comprehensive approach to healthcare planning, architecture, and interiors. My experience encompasses the full continuum of care, from ambulatory and specialty clinics to highly technical acute care environments, supporting healthcare organizations in creating spaces that enhance patient outcomes, improve staff efficiency, and elevate the overall care experience.

Throughout my career, I have planned and designed a diverse range of healthcare facilities, including outpatient care settings, diagnostic and treatment environments, surgical and procedural suites, inpatient care units, behavioral health facilities, and critical support departments. This breadth of experience has provided a deep understanding of clinical operations, regulatory requirements, patient and staff safety, infection prevention, and the importance of adaptable, future-focused healthcare environments.

I collaborate closely with healthcare providers, administrators, clinical staff, and facility teams to develop solutions that balance operational goals with patient-centered design. By integrating evidence-based design principles with practical healthcare planning strategies, I help organizations create spaces that support efficient workflows, foster healing, and strengthen connections to the communities they serve.

Based in Idaho, I also bring  valuable experience working with healthcare systems and providers in Washington and Nevada. This regional perspective allows me to understand varying regulatory requirements, healthcare delivery models, and community needs across the Northwest and Mountain West.

I am passionate about creating environments that positively impact patients, caregivers, and communities. My goal is to design meaningful healthcare spaces that support clinical excellence, improve experiences, and provide lasting value for the organizations and populations they serve.
