Compassionate, inclusive, cutting-edge healthcare projects are David’s calling card. He is a healthcare expert who focuses on project management, strategic planning, operational analysis, process re-engineering, and business case development. 

Before joining us in 2003, David was a project manager for the Brampton Civic Hospital, which is part of the William Osler Health Centre. David’s role on the other side of the desk gives him a unique ability to understand priorities from a client perspective. He is skilled at earning multi-stakeholder buy-in and project approval, while also combining client needs with purpose-driven design.

David is fully versed in the Ontario Ministry of Health’s revised capital planning process, as well as the new Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) model (previously known as P3). He loves the complexities and challenges of healthcare projects. He takes a unique hospitality approach to hospital projects, considering how to reduce users’ anxiety, increase their comfort, and make sure hospitals are inclusive.

David’s work marks an evolution in modern healthcare design, thanks to his use of cutting-edge technologies such as text notification software, digital signage, and intuitive wayfinding systems. 

Clear communication, easy navigation and ‘less signs, more art’ are keystones of David’s projects. David hopes that one day, hospitals will be seen as major design opportunities within our industry and become welcoming beacons of connection and community, like libraries or museums.
