Royce Epstein is a seasoned professional with three decades of experience in commercial interior design and architecture, spanning a diverse range of roles, including interior designer, product designer and developer, and university lecturer and educator. Her passion lies in understanding the intricacies of materials: how they're made; how they're used; and most importantly, their impact on the planet. She has created a series of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to share her lifelong learning of materials with the commercial architecture and design community. She recently spoke to us from chilly Philadelphia in the US about the latest trends in urban design and how they are being influenced by what she calls, the ‘Culture of Care’ in design.This podcast is brought to you in association with GH Commercial proud sponsors of our 2024 Anged & Healthcare series of podcasts.
