Lia has been interested in the outdoors her entire life, and this love of nature influences everything she does for WHR and its clients. She lives to create humanistic environments that are in harmony with nature and inspired by patient-centered care.
Lia spent her high school and college years in Oregon and Montana, where her love of the outdoors took root. One of her professors invited her to work in a remote studio in the Montana wilderness, where she developed a deep passion and considerable talent for creating built environments that blend with nature. She loves outdoor installation artwork that is in unison with nature and says that if she weren’t helping clients create sustainable environments, you’d likely find her hiking around in the woods with her son and a couple of dogs, making habitable spaces from natural materials.
“It is great fun engaging clients in our participatory design process. I work with people who know a whole lot about healthcare and are passionate about it. I sense that they feel such importance about their work and the spaces they need to do it. I also think about the environment when working. It’s hard to think about healing environments and not think about nature.”
