About

In the episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we are speaking with Kim Holden . 

Kim Holden is an architect, doula, lactation counselor, design consultant, and educator. Her focus is the intersection of design and birth and the impact that environment has on experiences, outcomes, disparities, and mortality, during the entire perinatal period. 

Prior to founding Doula x Design, she was a Founder and Managing Principal at SHoP, an internationally renowned architecture firm based in NYC, for over 20 years, and was the William Henry Bishop Visiting Professor of Architectural Design at Yale University for the 2023-2024 academic year, teaching a graduate level studio on spaces of birth.
