universal design

I know there has been a lag in postings. I am now back in grad school commuting down to SFSU to obtain a Masters in Gerontology. Please enjoy the posting below. It is my goal that at a minimum we can get the State of California to include the principles of visitability into building codes for all residents.

MY PROFILE

My Photo
Granite Bay, California, United States
People in our society are limited only by our failure to design. My passion became to incorporate the concept of universal design to accomodate the variations in human ability which is ordinary for all people. Design can be a powerful influence if done well to enhance the self worth and comfort of mankind. Simple changes can be made to improve the life of someone with dementia or other cognitive challoenges. With a degrees in Interior Design and Gerontology, I established my own design firm where we specialize in universal design. Other services my firm offers are consulting, training, and presentation speaking. As the owner of Ageless Designs, I hold the designation of a Certified Interior Designer with the State of California; Certified Aging in Place Specialist; Kitchen and Bath Design member of NKBA; Gerontologist and hold membership with the Universal Design Alliance, several Senior Associations and Gerontology Associations. In addition, I volunteer my time to serve as a Commission member on the Placer County Older Adult Advisory Committee
