Steve has devoted his career to designing spaces that heal, comfort and enable people to live their healthiest, best lives. A medical planner and interior architect, he is widely recognized for his ability to uncover the intimate and often unarticulated needs of patients, families and care teams—and translate them into interior environments that play a direct role in the healing process.
For Steve, his work is about more than design. It’s about creating environments that act as a canvas for the human experience. His work spans the gamut of healthcare facilities, from pediatric hospitals and outpatient clinics to buildings for health education and research. Regardless of project type, he brings the latest evidence-based research—and endless amounts of heart—to create interior environments that always ensure the best possible outcomes for all.
