DESIGN & RENOVATIONS
Designing Healing will work with organizations, architects, and interior designers to improve non-traditional spaces of healing through a comprehensive design process built on agency, cultural humility, reflection, trust, and co-creation. Designing Healing offers personalized strategies and aesthetics to meet the needs of corporations, nonprofits, and individuals. The process includes:
Conducting meaningful community focus groups
Creating power maps of stakeholders
Integrating burgeoning aesthetics research that contributes to a design's function and its users' psychology
Defining challenges based on people's needs and feelings, the individuals served, the design mission, and overall importance
Critically analyzing the renovation space based on movement, sequence, frequency, and activities
Understanding an organization's collaborators and their needs, values, interactions, and identity
Prototyping designs and journey mapping
Choosing conscientious furniture, wall color, lighting, noise levels, accessibility needs, temperature, layout, access to nature, and scale
