The Journal

At Holland, we're fortunate to have a solid network of consultants from various disciplines, including J5, whose service design expertise helps us identify and address critical yet underserved user challenges. One of their Service Designers, Rhea Kachroo, recently shared the stage with our Founding Partner, Jocelyne, as panel speakers discussing design principles and strategies for neurodivergent inclusivity. In this blog post, they share key takeaways from the discussion, explore how they collaborate to design inclusive workplaces, and address common misconceptions about neurodiversity. Rhea also shares her lived experiences and service design expertise.

At Holland, we take a thoughtful and open-minded approach to every healthcare project we undertake. We take the time to really listen to our clients to understand their priorities and needs, while drawing on our own experience and knowledge. When designing healthcare spaces, the key priorities we focus on are functionality, patient and staff experience, and adaptability. In this blog post, our Project Lead, Jenny Hassell, explores how we understand the needs of healthcare providers and patients, as well as the challenges and trends in healthcare design.

Earlier this season, we collaborated with the Interior Designers of Alberta (IDA) and fellow design professionals to create content on the latest developments in our industry. Design is dynamic and constantly evolving, and we’re proud to be part of an industry that continually sets new standards for excellence and innovation! As part of our collaboration, the IDA asked our team a series of questions on design inspirations, challenges, and the trends we’re embracing; and in this blog post, we revisit our responses.
