2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Julia Donahue, IIDA, NCIDQ, WELL AP, Margulies Perruzzi

Julia Donahue, IIDA, NCIDQ, WELL AP
Interior Designer 
Margulies Perruzzi 

Number of years at firm:

One thing on my bucket list: Travel to the Galapagos Islands.

When I am not working, I am: Tending to my many plants. 

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Our work on the radiation oncology department at Beth Israel Lahey Health’s Winchester Hospital. In addition to replacing the linear accelerator and its accompanying equipment, we incorporated new custom millwork and finishes. BILH asked us to create spaces that were bright, serene, and complementary to the equipment being installed while adding whimsical touches of design and a customizable patient ambience with color changing LED lighting and music that can be selected by the patients for their treatment sessions. This created a space which fosters a sense of calm in the patients and creates a less clinical feeling environment.

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR? 
“Julia is a very talented designer with the unique ability to quickly learn new healthcare programs and coordinate complex clinical spaces. Her communications skills are excellent. She develops creative solutions that keep the hospital functioning during renovations and works tirelessly to resolve open issues.” - Jason Costello, AIA, LEED AP, Partner at Margulies Perruzzi

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
