Designer Profile

A Registered Interior Designer with over 25-years of experience in client-driven, user-focused interior design services, I have attained successful project solutions in healthcare, government, education, office, hospitality, industrial, religious, residential, restaurant and retail.

My passion, what I love about Interior Design, is the capacity of the built environment to shape behavior. Through design we positively influence the human condition. The role of the interior designer, is to ensure that the functional configuration of spaces in relation to each other, as well as within themselves, diminish obstacles to offer the best possible outcomes towards successful, usable spaces. Not least among these obstacles is to ensure that designed spaces promote the health, safety and wellbeing of inhabitants.

In health design where my practice is focused, this means that space provides relief to the requirements of caregiver routines, that appropriately shaped perceptions of the environment act to alleviate concerns of visitors as to the wellbeing of loved ones, and that design offers comfort and enhances patient recovery. With diverse users interested in health design (administrators, doctors, nurses, social workers, families and patients), much technology to incorporate (surgery, imaging, infection control and records), and varied spatial types (patient care, retail, food service, office, education and hospitality), work can be daunting; but I like the complexity of seeking simplicity for solutions that respect the needs of all these diverse arenas.

I have been employed by Boulder Associates-Dallas, Texas; FKP-Dallas, Texas; PSC–Lubbock, Texas; Shetsko Design Center–Smithville, Texas; Victoria Casasco Studio-Los Angeles, California; Good, Haas & Fulton Architects-Dallas, Texas; and engaged as an intern with Groupe Maison Familiale-Cambrai, France. A native of Northeast Mississippi, I am 30-years in with Leslie Case, a sculptor/painter and native Texan (after the honeymoon they tell you that you have to move here), together we have created three masterworks: Jess, Sophia and Rachel.

Testimonial

What I love about Interior Design is the capacity of the built environment to shape perception and behavior. That is the ability to positively influence the human condition.

What I love about my practice in Healthcare Interior Design is that through providing relief to the requirements of caregivers in their routines, in shaping perceptions to alleviate concerns of visitors as to the wellbeing of their loved ones and by addressing patient comfort, dignity and recovery, I provide services that enhance basic human needs for the greater good of mankind.
