Abbie Clary

With incredible drive, Abbie approaches every project she touches as an opportunity for design to be a catalyst for healthy change — across an organization, a community and even society. Uniting strategic clarity and deep empathy, Abbie drives meaningful impact across the full spectrum of health — from hospitals and clinics to public health, academic medicine, wellness, mental health, survivorship, healthy communities and more. 

With millions of square feet of healthcare space in her portfolio Abbie’s work spans some of the sector’s most ambitious and forward-looking health projects. 

From new models for academic medical centers, to reinvigorated business planning, to innovative modular delivery systems and user-focused solutions, Abbie is tireless in her pursuit of design work that becomes a vehicle for long-term impact —social, clinical, operational and human.
