Books
I write about healthcare design and the connection between the healthcare environment and human well-being. I also write about architectural graphic communications from traditional to digital with a multi-media approach, as well as digital historical interiors and architecture.
I strive to contribute to the body of knowledge through publications with new viewpoints and different perspectives, which make unique and distinguishing features of all my books.

About the Book
Publication Day: September 4th, 2025
I am very delighted that my new book, "Photoshop for Interior Designers: A Nonverbal Communication, 2nd Edition" will be published on September 4th, 2025! As a result of my scholarship and creative endeavors, this book is the manifestation of my work. This book introduces a multi-media approach with an emphasis on using Photoshop to convey design intent and design solutions. This book also introduces a quick and easy way to illustrate design concepts through a visual thinking process. Case studies in this book cover a variety of topics, including healthcare design, office design, educational design, and hospitality design. In addition, this book introduces techniques for using Photoshop to enhance freehand drawings, which feature the characteristics of both freehand and digital drawings. Lastly, how evidence-based and research informed design solutions should be communicated visually is explained.

Environment - Behavior Studies for Healthcare Design
I am passionate about healthcare design research by using environment-behavior studies’ theories, methods, frameworks, and models. It is my research goal to develop more theories and generate more research evidence to create environments that foster health, well-being, and better human experience.
Digital Historical Interiors and Architecture
One of the interests of my research and creative endeavor is to discover and reconstruct the historical interiors and masterpieces of architecture through digital methods. Since Golden Ratio and Golden Rectangle can be found in Roman architecture and construction, I use Golden Ratio analysis to create digital models especially when ancient building dimensions are not available.
