One of the arears of my work focuses on where research meets practice in healthcare design by connecting environment–behavior theories with real-world design applications. Through this integration of research and professional practice, I explore and demonstrate how research evidence can inform design decision-making, support the implementation of evidence-based strategies, and contribute to healthier, more supportive, and user-centered healthcare environments.
