The Challenge

Healthcare wasn’t designed for stillness.

Corridors, waiting areas, open wards - they're built for flow, not for feeling. But the people who work and recover in these spaces need more than throughput. They need moments of stillness.

Staff burnout is at record levels. Patients arrive in states of high anxiety. And the environments we ask them to inhabit often make both of those things worse. There's a better way to use the space you already have.

The Solution

“I personally love using the Nook pods. They bring brightness & colour and improve the lives of the staff & patients that come to the hospital. They give an opportunity to stop and pause in a beautiful enclosed environment that really does block out the noise and hubbub.”

I care about the spaces where we work, learn, heal and play. I am certain that with a more scientific and inclusive approach, these spaces can help to unlock our potential, helping us to improve performance and feel a greater sense of

I focus on Inclusivity, improving work/life balance, knowledge sharing, powerful partnerships and being a good ancestor to the future. I believe that 'design for the extreme benefits the mean', which to me means if we design with atypical requirements in mind, we end up with solutions which work better for all.
