Kim’s Design Notes: This was a particularly meaningful project, as the people living in this facility are literally rebuilding their lives. Hearing their stories and learning more about the amazing work they are doing to recover from traumatic histories and discover their potential and passions was incredibly inspiring. The facility felt very institutional before I arrived and it was a joy to add warmth and energy to reflect what was happening in the lives of the residents and to surround them with reminders of the positive trajectory their hard work was leading them toward.
