Emily J. Wright is a registered architect with over 20 years of experience, an undergraduate degree in biochemistry, a background in clinical psychology, and experience teaching English abroad. Navigating the public school system with three neurodivergent children has made her aware of the frequent mismatch between what children need and the physical environment in which they find themselves. In her work on community centers, libraries and schools, she marries this role of advocate with that of architect, striving to create environments that support and adapt to all types of minds. She recently partnered with her colleague Laura Smyles to publish a paper on designing for neurodiversity: https://www.grimmandparker.com/news-insight/differing-minds
