AIA, LEED AP BD+C

Associate Principal

How we design housing shapes how people live, age, and remain connected to community. I see a tremendous opportunity for senior housing to be part of a broader continuum of housing and urban life, where thoughtful designs bring vibrancy, social life, and a strong sense of place into environments where older adults can thrive with dignity and a strong sense of belonging.

With a design background and extensive experience delivering complex projects, Amy has practiced in a globally diverse range of architectural contexts including Switzerland, New York City, and across the US, working on projects ranging from finely crafted residential architecture to university student centers. This breadth of experience informs her approach to senior living design—balancing operational performance, regulatory complexity, and the human experience of place. Her work reflects a commitment to advancing sustainable, socially responsive environments that strengthen communities and support evolving models of senior living across the West Coast.
