Marjorie is a licensed architect and recently retired nurse practitioner focusing on healthcare facility planning and design. After many years in nursing, Marjorie earned a Master of Architecture in 2005. Involved in the design of large and small hospital campuses, she learned that the involvement of patients, families, and front-line staff is essential to the success of each healthcare project. Experience as a clinician, manager, consultant and design architect give her a unique perspective to communicate with all stakeholders.
Marjorie’s architectural practice includes clinical consulting, facility and operational assessment, and design. She teaches creative problem-solving techniques (Design-Thinking) to assist groups in developing and reaching their goals. Recent projects include programming of an 80-bed community hospital, goal/strategy development with team building for a large social service agency, and efforts to promote diversity/equity and combat racism.
