SPATIAL DESIGN + EXPRESSIVE ARTS + FACILITATION
SPATIAL DESIGN +
EXPRESSIVE ARTS + FACILITATION
Different ways of knowing become more powerful when brought together.
We come to understand the world in many ways: through analysis and intuition, through observation and direct experience, and through our senses and imagination. Creative exploration allows us to move between these modes of understanding, see new possibilities, and find new ways forward.
My work brings together spatial design and expressive arts therapy, drawing on the complementary strengths of each.
Spatial design
is the planning and shaping of physical spaces to create functional, aesthetic, and meaningful environments.

Facilitated workshops for your architecture or multidisciplinary design team, and the communities your project serves, from early visioning through post-occupancy.
Within Design Teams
Step outside familiar modes of thinking, approach design challenges from new perspectives, and strengthen collaboration.
Community + Stakeholder Engagement
Discover creative, inclusive engagement processes that enable all participants to meaningfully participate and shape the design.
Expressive Arts Therapy
For individuals and groups looking for new ways to understand themselves, connect with others, and navigate change.

The process matters too.
Whether we’re shaping a home, working together on a project, or moving through a personal transition, the way we show up in the process itself is just as important to as the end result.
My work creates space to slow down, see things from different perspectives, and engage more intentionally with what’s unfolding – providing clarity and grounding for the path forward.
