The London-based architecture practice ColladoCollins commissioned me to co-author and create Just Living, a book about designing homes and communities that genuinely consider what older people want and need. This thought piece, supported by research and insights from older people and leaders in the industry, describes how our age does not represent our stage of life. We all need places that offer appropriate accessibility, community, engagement, and care, filled with people that support us to enable us to live our fullest lives irrespective of our age. Our homes should empower us so we can focus on just living the highest quality of life for our entire life.

A series of talks and lectures curated per audience that encourage us to consider the life we want for our future selves. How we shape our environment impacts how well we are able to live as we age — these talks unpack how small considerations can make a big difference. Here is a recent talk on Designing for HAPPIness from the Housing LIN Summit 2020

The Museum of Modern Art in New York City held a salon on New Aging, where I presented an overview of my position on "age-friendly" cities and how designing with older adults in mind benefits people of all ages and abilities.

As an older woman was about to carry two big grocery bags from the street up her steep front steps, I stopped to ask if she would like a hand. She replied, “No dear, this is my challenge for the day” — what is your challenge today? From “nudge theory” to the power of play, this project looks at how our everyday environments can build in fun, engaging challenges that keep us active and healthier for longer.
