Practice description: I work with individuals and firms to apply sensory science and create places and products that enhance lives.
My practice focuses on design psychology. I work with individuals and firms to apply sensory science and create places and products that enhance lives. Working with individuals, I have informed the design of places where people flourish. In my consulting work with major multi-national organizations, I have integrated important psychological considerations into the design of places and objects.
I have been practicing design psychology for several decades and am an expert on person-centered design and environmental psychology. I have consulted with individuals and major multi-national organizations to integrate important psychological considerations into the design of places and objects. As the editor of Research Design Connections, I have written widely on science-based design for a broad audience of design professionals. My Research Design Connections blog is read by thousands of individuals each month and my book, Place Advantage: Applied Psychology for Interior Architecture, was published by Wiley in 2009. I hold leadership positions in professional organizations such as the International Association of Applied Psychology, the American Psychological Association, and the Environmental Design Research Association. In addition to speaking on person-centered design at major professional conferences in Europe, Asia, and North America, I have been interviewed on National Public Radio and VoiceAmerica radio programs. I am a graduate of Wellesley College (BA), Northwestern University (MBA), and Claremont Graduate University (PhD).
Clients sought: I am interested in working with people who would like to use the design of places and objects to enrich human experiences.
