DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, Emphasis, Unity, Contrast, and Human Relevance.
We anchor on best practices for conceiving and creating human and health-centric spaces. Using experiential design principles, we look for innovative ways to incorporate the tenants of well-being into all projects.
Purposeful design optimizes the impact an environment has on human performance.
At Studio7 we believe innovative and thoughtful design incorporates nature’s healing and mystical powers, and that physical spaces anchor our experiences in the world.

As the founder of Studio7, I create spaces that inspire people to live, work, play, and heal.

As a child, I spent hours climbing trees and looking for the next space to explore the magic of a living ecosystem. In my 20’s, I moved to LA, where I went to school to study nutrition, health, and biomechanics—anything “body performance.” My surrounding environments were an aggregate of industry and well-being: hospitals, pediatric clinics, wellness centers, chiropractic offices, dance studios, gyms, etc. In these places, I developed a respect for our surroundings’ dynamic power on our health and performance.
With experience as a high level athlete, degrees in Health & Exercise Science, Design, and training in earth medicine and sustainability, I offer a lived perspective of how important health and wellness are to driving outcomes in life, work, and healing.
I have also traveled extensively to experience healing modalities and spaces worldwide and incorporate this knowledge into my designs.
Studio 7s name is inspired by life’s experiences and fascination with the number 7, both practical and mystical. It is said that the number 7 brings a completeness and perfection to the physical and spiritual realm. 7 also represents intuition, a quest for knowledge and the pursuit of prosperity, joy and renewal.
“Just do it. You will not be disappointed. Jamie is smart, quick, a great communicator. She does not waste time and did everything she said she would do and more. She has a delightful personality and that always makes a project more fun to do.”
