Defining a Practice

Michael C. Ralph, WELL AP
Senior Design Researcher | Associate Kansas City

Michael C. Ralph, PhD, WELL AP

"I love uncovering the story behind the numbers. As a researcher, I believe it is essential to understand the metrics we can impact through design and the human narrative that underpins that impact. This is the perfect opportunity to combine my formal training in evaluation and measurement with my lived experience as a classroom educator."
