Lindsey Duffy
Lindsey started her design career as a generalist, but once she encountered healthcare architecture, it stuck.
“I enjoy healthcare because it’s relatable. Most of us have been a patient or a caregiver at some point. It’s easy to put yourself in someone’s shoes and see how design shapes your experience in a clinic or a hospital.” That ability to empathize, she says, often leads to better outcomes for users.
As a designer, Lindsey is particularly drawn to the process side of things—a trait that’s well-suited to healthcare design. It’s also what drove her to earn a Lean Black Belt certification from the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers, equipping her with the kind of skills and expertise required to lead complex projects and drive significant organizational change.
Lindsey’s healthcare-design experience includes lab renovations, clinic additions, pharmacy upgrades, and campus master plans for large and small healthcare systems alike, and she has contributed to the designs of spaces focused on such specialties as surgical suites, emergency medicine, physical and occupational therapy, diagnostic imaging and residency clinics.
