About

Dawn Christine is an architect, experiential designer, and educator whose work explores how the built environment shapes human wellness, lifestyle, and connection. As the founder of Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC, she leads a design practice focused on experience-driven architecture that integrates wellness, place, and human behavior, creating environments that support how people live, feel, and gather long before medical intervention is needed.

Dawn’s work extends beyond traditional practice through DesignTalk, an educational platform and global media series that translates architectural thinking into accessible conversations for a broad audience. Through storytelling, travel, and built examples, DesignTalk helps individuals, communities, and leaders better understand how everyday environments from homes and workplaces to public and community spaces, quietly influence physical health, mental clarity, and social connection.

She is also a co-founder of Cross Pacific Design Group, a cross-border design consultancy guiding high-net-worth clients through lifestyle-driven residential projects between the United States and New Zealand. This global practice allows Dawn to apply wellness and experiential design principles across cultures, landscapes, and ways of living, reinforcing the idea that architecture is both deeply personal and universally impactful.

Through architecture, education, and global collaboration, Dawn is committed to elevating design as a tool for individual well-being and collective resilience. Her work advocates for a broader understanding of wellness, one rooted not only in healthcare systems, but in the everyday experiences and spaces that shape our lives and communities.
