About
I especially love creating spaces where people gather to socialize, to exercise together, to dance, or to meditate. Connecting is the most important thing we do with our lives.
​
Design for socializing in the home is about creating intimate, inviting spaces to engage with family, and friends.
In public spaces, design can positively influence economic and social vitality, strengthen our sense of community and increase our sense of personal safety.
