While hiking in the redwoods of Northern California, after visiting a friend in the hospital, I was struck by how nurturing the forest felt in contrast to the hospital environment. This thought fused my careers as a psychologist and visual artist and led me to launch Sereneview in 2002.

Sereneview's Purpose:

To reduce the fear and anxiety of being in the hospital, by applying the research guidelines on nature views, to create products that foster a patient-centered environment.
To be an advocate for the role and benefits of the arts in heathcare.

Sereneview has been the recipient of the Center for Health Design's Nightingale Award in 2002, NeoCon's Innovative Solutions 2008, and Healthcare Design Magazine's Top 10 Innovative Product Designers of 2011.
