Amy Corneliussen Sickeler

RID, LEED AP
Principal, Health, Atlanta

Amy spent her formative years in a very unique environment; at an early age, her parents purchased an aged nursing home with a spiral staircase tower overlooking the bluffs and marshes of rural Wisconsin. These surroundings sparked in her a connection to nature, a love for animals and wildlife, and–of course–a passion for design.

After watching her mother’s battle with cancer, Amy pursued her college studies with one goal: healing people. An interest in medical illustration led to an industrial design program–and Amy was captivated.

With an intent focus on healthcare design, she has dedicated her career to developing innovative healing spaces for a variety of diverse clients. Amy finds inspiration everywhere in her daily experience, believing in the power of successful design’s ability to “impact all human senses.” In her personal time, she enjoys cooking, drawing, and tending to her chickens.
