    "If I can make a terrifying experience a little calmer and a nurse's 12-hour shift less exhausting—that's my why." –Andrea Kingsbury on HID2.0. Today on the pod, Cheryl sits down—virtually—with Andrea Kingsbury, RID, CHID, LEED AP ID+C, Creative Director of Interior Design at e4h | Environments for Health Architecture.With 18+ years in healthcare interiors, Andrea shares how she elevates design across a multi-office practice. She co-creates with clinicians so operations don't get value-engineered out. And on the Roper St. Francis Replacement Hospital, e4h is partnered with SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill)—SOM leads the exterior and first-impression spaces while e4h leads the clinical environments. Together, they're translating a modern Low Country sense of place into calming, resilient settings from curb to bedside. What We Cover Origin story & staying power: finding purpose where "every decision has a human consequence" Creative Director lens: mentorship, cross-pollination, and guiding principles that anchor projects over time Digital collaboration: whiteboards as living libraries (and bringing sketching energy back across offices) Clinician-led, patient-centered: turning design ideas into performance metrics (steps saved, time gained, errors reduced) so they survive VE Roper St. Francis with SOM: a curb-to-bedside thread; visioning early, system finish master plan, and "modern Low Country" as a unifying concept Arrival sequence by landscape: Tidelands → Dunes → Marshes (lobby, promenade, café) for orientation, calm, and nourishment Community over cliché: avoiding "postcard Charleston," engaging North Charleston's distinct neighborhoods and local artists Standardization vs. soul: prefabricated pods and modular systems without losing local materiality and identity Flexibility & resilience: designing for future unknowns (pandemics, hurricanes, seismic), right-sizing and pre-planning utilities Pathways for emerging designers: timing CHID/EDAC, why to test early, and the portfolio experiences that matter now Key Takeaways Guide, don't dictate. A Creative Director cultivates mindsets and methods more than a single "house style." Metrics protect design. When choices map to operational outcomes (steps/time/errors), they're harder to cut. Place > postcard. Authenticity comes from community engagement, not clichés. Prefab ≠ generic. Standardization can speed delivery while finishes and details keep local soul. Design for tomorrow. Flexibility and resilience are now baseline program requirements. Invest early in credentials. CHID/EDAC/LEED are great signalers—easier to earn closer to school—and experience remains the difference-makers Memorable Quotes from Andrea Kingsbury "We're designing the backdrop of some of our most vulnerable moments—birth, death, recovery, crisis. Every decision has a human consequence." "If I can make a terrifying experience a little calmer and a nurse's 12-hour shift less exhausting—that's my why." "Our role isn't to impose a singular style; it's to cultivate a mindset that leads to successful projects." "Guiding principles set early become the anchor when projects evolve—they hold the vision together." "When design choices map to time saved, steps reduced, and errors prevented, it's almost impossible to value-engineer them out." "We used the Low Country landscape—tidelands → dunes → marshes—to cue orientation, calm, and nourishment." "Prefab doesn't have to look generic. We keep the speed and quality without losing local soul." "The next phase is flexibility and resilience—designing for tomorrow when we can't predict it."

    Episode 70: Kristin Leija, RID, CIDQ, CHID, EDAC, LEED Green Associate, WELL AP — Registered Interior Designer & Certified Healthcare Interior Designer at Perkins&Will (San Antonio, TX)

    "When one of us rises, all of us rise." –Kristin Leija on the Healthcare Interior Design 2.0 podcast Today on the pod, Cheryl sits down—virtually—with Kristin Leija, RID, CIDQ, CHID, EDAC, LEED Green Associate, WELL AP — Registered Interior Designer & Certified Healthcare Interior Designer at Perkins&Will in San Antonio, TX. Kristin brings big-firm reach with a startup spirit—supporting teams across Texas while anchoring in San Antonio's historic Pearl District. As a post-COVID entrant to healthcare design, she pairs digital fluency with CHID/EDAC rigor and a community-first mindset. We talk building credibility without 20 years on the clock, designing for a multicultural city, caregiver realities (including her own), and the rising focus on behavioral health and "living design" sustainability. What We Cover Post-COVID vantage point: translating six-foot spacing, touch reduction, and one-way flows into healthcare planning Earning trust early: leading with research, active listening, and co-authoring solutions with clients Community + culture → design: how San Antonio's "smallest big city" vibe shows up in wayfinding, lobbies, and public spaces Caregiver lens: where do you take sensitive calls, decompress, or bring a child while visiting? Behavioral health everywhere: why BH thinking is showing up across non-BH projects Futurism in practice: scanning signals, staying curious, and shaping what's next Living design: Perkins&Will's holistic take on health, wellness, sustainability, and poetics Key Takeaways Curiosity beats tenure. Showing up with relevant research and good questions builds credibility fast. Design the whole journey. Spaces that respect caregivers' needs (privacy, quiet, nooks) change the experience. Culture isn't décor. Authentic place-based cues support wayfinding, belonging, and ease. Behavioral health is universal. Small, thoughtful interventions can lower stress across all settings. Be a futurist. Track signals, share knowledge, and help clients prepare—not just react.

    Episode 69: Corinn Soro, Interior Designer, CID, NCIDQ, CHID, EDAC, Senior Planner, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center
    Oct 21 2025
    "Another sign is not the answer—it dilutes the message." - Corinn Soro Today on the pod, Cheryl sits down—virtually—with Senior Planner and Interior Designer Corinn Soro of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY for a deep dive into wayfinding that actually works: why "visual pollution" erodes attention, how de-crapification clarifies intent, and where evidence-based choices can transform the patient journey from disorientation to ease. Expect real examples—subway-style maps that set expectations at a glance, pictograms that land when words won't, and donor walls designed to evolve rather than date out—plus the small, cumulative tweaks that lower stress for visitors and staff alike. Today's conversation is about design as reassurance, translating research into decisions that cut through noise and hand back control the moment someone walks through the door. What We Cover A 17-year-old's spark: geriatric care, neuroplasticity, and the built environment London roots: learning research methods alongside OTs and PTs; universal design for all bodies Evidence-Based Design in action: NICU decisions (sound, circadian light, infection control) backed by research "Visual pollution" vs. visual cues: the case for ruthless editing ("de-crapification") before adding signs Wayfinding that works under stress: step-by-step instructions, few decision points, and reassurance cues Designing for low literacy: a color-and-letter "subway" system, line-of-travel markers, and proximity intuition Pictograms that actually communicate: testing, swapping out abstractions, and kid-friendly icons Measuring ROI: missed appointments, staff disruptions, and the real cost of poor wayfinding In-house rhythm at a research hospital: tight feedback loops, quick iterations, and process fixes Donor walls that age well: digital storytelling, magnetic plaques, and durable substrates Advocacy and pipeline: AMFP Upstate NY, craft labor realities, and manufacturing shifts ahead Big wish list: self-cleaning floors (for hospitals…and home) Why post-occupancy evaluations could prevent future design disasters (and why they rarely happen) Key Takeaways Edit before you add. Wayfinding succeeds when clutter is removed and destinations are made legible through architecture, lighting, and contrast—not just more signs. Design for the stressed brain. Fewer decision points + stepwise reassurance beat complex directions every time. Evidence accelerates approvals. EBD turns subjective taste debates into science-backed decisions leadership can green-light. Symbols > sentences. Tested pictograms improve comprehension across languages, ages, and literacy levels. Iterate in the wild. Being embedded with clinicians and patients surfaces quick wins you'll never catch from afar. Memorable Quotes from Corinn Soro "Another sign isn't the answer—it dilutes the message." "Wayfinding is about giving choice back to patients when so much else is out of their control." "If a space is 'too quiet' for the engineer, it's probably just right for the neonates." "Healthcare design is a team sport."
