From a career in Occupational Therapy and an appreciation of architecture and design. A seemingly unlikely combination but actually a perfect synergy.

After entering the field of Occupational Therapy (OT) in 2000 the seed of what would become a professional passion was born. I remember thinking that I would love to contribute an OT’s perspective to design above and beyond the guidelines of ADA. I imagined graceful homes and public spaces that provided options and flexibility to anyone regardless of their functional status. As my plans for designing elegant, accessible spaces began to take shape, I went into clinical work focusing on the hand and upper extremity. 

A three year foray into business analysis and system project management in the financial sector led to some amazing experiences and extremely valuable skill sets, but the altruistic side of me was lonely and unfulfilled, so I returned to my profession to work in the acute care hospital setting. 

I also had a  family of my own and became a student of finding balance between motherhood, family life and career goals.   Through it all, I have maintained an intense interest in my profession, the engineering of new ideas, and the history of architecture/design.  Coupling these interests with my priorities and enthusiasm, has lead to the birth of Unbounded Spaces. I firmly believe that the thoughtful and intentional creation of spaces can support functional capacity, foster independence, and promote wellbeing ~ while maintaining a graceful environment in which to live, work and play.
