Health
Maternal and infant wellbeing across the life course — from clinical and perinatal care to the environments that shape health.
Active Projects
Motherhood by Design
The science of becoming a mother.
Motherhood by Design bridges scientific rigor and visual storytelling. We explore health, equity, economics, and joy — translating research into shared understanding for families, birth workers, communities, and policymakers.
Maternal health is an index of societal health: when birth equity, care systems, and economic security improve, everyone benefits — whatever your season of life.
In the studio
Health, Equity, Economics, and Joy — our ongoing questions.
"Equity is something we design, measure, and build together."
Motherhood by Design
Four pillars. One shared horizon.

Equity
Structural justice, culturally rooted care, and community sovereignty, centering BIPOC families and ways of knowing.
03
Economics
The material conditions of care: paid leave, economic security, care costs, and the value of doula and midwifery work.
04
Joy
Thriving beyond survival — connection, cultural celebration, nourishment, and flourishing in maternal and infant life.
