Empathy is generally described as the ability to take on another's perspective. When it comes to design, leading with empathy ensures teams deliver environments that respond to the unique needs of the communities they serve.   In the latest edition of #HGAFrame, we highlight colleagues, clients, and collaborators who are redefining what it means to prioritize an empathetic approach to Healthcare.

We’re excited to join Cal State Fullerton for the public opening reception of the Gallery Building at the Visual Arts Complex, celebrating six exciting new exhibitions.

Input from local artists and curators helped shape the building into a highly adaptive destination that will evolve as the arts evolve.
