Kimberly Cook, has been named an associate principal and interior design leader in Perkins&Will’s Midwest Region Health Practice. She has 25 years of experience in designing healthcare interiors and a deep understanding of the importance of providing interior design that responds to client needs and positively impacts the health and well-being of patients.
Cook is returning to Perkins&Will, where she began her career in the Chicago, Illinois and Minneapolis, Minnesota studios, at a time of expansion of the firm’s healthcare practice.
