Nicole’s passion for biophilic design is rooted in her connection to nature and her expertise in commercial interior design and human ecology. As the founder and owner of The Biophilic Design Institute, she is committed to transforming our relationship with our environments. She guides architects and designers to integrate our innate connection with nature directly into the core principles of our design approach. Her influential roles on advisory boards for both Living Future Europe and the WELL Building Standard, as well as her experiences as a yoga instructor and Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, inform a philosophy that promotes health and well-being while also working to mitigate the human impact on the non-human world.
