About Alyson McPhee
With a background in behavioral psychology, workplace strategy, and data-driven design,I bring a unique lens to understanding how people interact with space—whether inacademic environments, offices, or community settings. My expertise lies in translatingcomplex user needs into clear, implementable design strategies.I am skilled at storytelling using data, real estate portfolio analysis, leading interdisciplinary teams, and design thinking. My point of view as a Design Strategist has been informed by exploring large operational datasets, conducting research on GenZ perspectives about the future of work, leading employee focus groups and interviewing business leaders at Fortune 500 companies.I bring a global perspective to my work, having lived and studied in Halifax, Montreal, Paris, Milan, San Francisco and Seattle. I believe that good design in the built environment extends far beyond aesthetics — to a functional and intuitive experience for occupants.
