Discipline, Perseverance and Optimism

Guest Christine Astorino was five years into her career as a trained landscape architect when she had an aha moment. Human-Centered Design and innovation were her passions, and creativity was her “north star." Christine joined her family business to redesign a children’s hospital and saw how transformational Human-Centered Design could be; even just entering a brightly colored parking space can create an emotional connection and  contribute to a healing hospital experience. A long-time champion of solving challenges from different perspectives, Christine founded Fathom, a company that reflects passion and creativity through Human-Centered Design and development, allowing her to assist businesses she loves while inspiring her employees to lead. While holding a unique perspective can cause discomfort, Christine benefits from not being boxed into a single perspective. Her drive to develop emotional connections fosters collaboration, as Christine has developed her mindset for success by reaching out to people whom she knows well, being disciplined, and trusting her voice.
