Most of my experience, shaped in the field of healthcare and healthcare facilities, has been in problem solving – defining, collaborating, planning, communicating and implementing a change from a current set of relationships to a future set – and seeking solutions with clarity, simplicity and economy. 

Whether it involves spending time observing in an operating room or drawing in the studio - the search for something better is where I like to be.  Getting something better, for me, means using tools that engage clients:

• Walking in their shoes - interview by observation
• Interactive programming tools that offer alternative choices with feedback
• Building stacking diagrams in Excel format that allow client developed models
• Adjacency / separation diagrams for group mapping
• Full size wallpaper elevations and floorplan mockup
• Live Autocad rapid space planning development
• White board sketching and brainstorming

My experience in healthcare enterprises spans three decades and includes ambulatory facilities, cancer care, diagnostic imaging, emergency services, material management, obstetric facilities, patient care units, pediatric facilities, rehabilitation facilities, surgical services, sterile processing, related support services - and the connections among all the parts that form the architecture and enterprise.
