ABOUT KARA PARCE

People often refer to my work as “softening the edges.” This is certainly true, but for me, interior design goes much deeper. As an 19-year industry leader and Idaho’s first Certified Healthcare Interior Designer (by the American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers), I’m motivated to enhance community health clinics, as well as large hospital facilities, with tangible environments that support the well-being of staff and care of patients.Mastering health and therapeutic design has served me well, as I\'ve been able to carry the same principles into a variety of public-serving work. Throughout my career, I’ve been proud to lead the design on a wide array of corrections, civic, public safety, education, and commercial projects throughout the Northwest region. As Director of the Interior Design Studio at Lombard/Conrad Architects, an incredible firm I have called home for much of my career, I am constantly inspired by the talent and expertise of my colleagues. I strive daily to lead and mentor others, instilling growth, collaboration, and designing with passion and purpose into the next generation of design professionals.
