For two decades, Melanie has gravitated towards projects that have a dramatic impact on the health and welfare of individuals, from treatment facilities that serve the most complicated mental health cases to social services centers where people feeling vulnerable are looking for help and dignity. Always seeing the people beyond the buildings, she gains an in-depth knowledge of the programming and nuances to create effective and impactful environments.

“Buildings and spaces have a great capacity for making lives easier or harder, better or worse. I love taking part in creating visions that people have for future spaces. What a wonderful gift to be invited to help envision and implement those future spaces. One project at a time, I strive to make the world better for others.”
