HIGHLIGHTED EVENTS

Join Us for a Webinar and Explore Color for Healthcare Spaces - Using Science and Research to
Select Surfaces, Lights and Patterns

July 31, 2014
11:00 am Pacific/2:00 pm Eastern

Sally Augustin, PhD, Founder, Principal, Design with Science will present how colors – on surfaces, in light, or combined in patterns – can be used to support an improved user experience in healthcare spaces.  Webinar attendees will learn not only how to make color choices, but also how hue, saturation, and brightness – as well as users’ culture and personal factors – influence the effects of color on the wellbeing of individuals and groups and probable health outcomes.

A practicing environmental psychologist, Sally is an expert on person-centered design. She integrates insights from environmental psychology and project specific research to develop places and objects that support desired experiences. Her clients include manufacturers, service providers, and design firms in North America, Europe, and Asia. As the editor of Research Design Connections, Sally has written widely on science-based design for a broad audience of people interested in the designed world.
