Pickett Design Associates’ talented Interior Designer Stephanie Ramirez was at the UCLA Semel Institute recently to preview the team’s finished work on its Integrative Phenotyping Center for Neuropsychiatry. The renovation involved more than 40,000 square feet on four floors of the Semel Institute tower, and the state-of-the-art space will provide modern facilities for investigators to achieve breakthroughs in the understanding, prevention, and treatment of severe brain disorders. PDA partnered with Zakian Woo Architects and other project consultants to create a flowing, light-filled – yet highly functional – interior workspace. In the photo above Stephanie is posing next to an impactful oversized custom sliding door of rich wood grain. We’ll post more photos of this exciting project soon!

Season of Giving 2013
This holiday season PDA’s donation to Heifer International will result in the purchase of Biogas Stoves, Clean Water and Women’s Empowerment for a community in need. This is made possible through the continued support of our clients, colleagues, friends and family. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Cooking Up a Healthier Planet
For most families in the places where Heifer International works, cooking usually means gathering firewood by hand, and often leads to soil depletion and deforestation. Smoke inhalation in poorly ventilated homes often leads to chronic respiratory and eye diseases. But a biogas stove runs off methane gas captured from animal waste. It burns cleanly, reliably and efficiently.
Clean Water
Millions of people around the world still lack access to clean drinking water. Heifer helps, many families install treadle pumps, practice water conservation and use organic fertilizers to protect drinking water to improve their health.
Women’s Empowerment
Women’s Empowerment will help women who have few resources and little self-esteem bring new energy, ideas, jobs and change to their families and their communities. This gift provides training and assistance so that mothers will be able to work and become self-sufficient. They will be able to afford to send their children to school, pay medical bills and lift themselves out of hunger and poverty.
