The question found me at home before it ever found a stage.

I spent more than two decades in occupational therapy, trained to notice how surroundings shape human functioning. I raised a son whose focus changed when his surroundings did, and I watched it happen with my own eyes. I lived inside a high-pressure medical household and saw, up close, what that kind of work asks of people and what it takes for them to recover.

Those three threads kept pointing at the same conclusion. The environment was never just background.

I have spent years since exploring the relationship between people and the visual environments surrounding them, and bringing that lens to the organizations that need it most

My work draws on five disciplines: occupational therapy, psychology, stress management, human resources management, and art and design. I am the creator of Stress-Reducing Art™ and an Amazon #1 best-selling author.

I have been featured by Forbes, Psychology Today, Business Insider, ABC, CBS, and Fox.

If your people are performing under sustained pressure, the environment they are doing it in deserves a serious look.
