Rita is an environmental psychologist, specialized in biophilic design, with the mission of helping people reconnect with nature, especially in urban and indoor spaces, where most of the world’s population spends 90% of their time every day. She lived, travelled and did research in over 30 countries. Each of these environments has contributed to shape her as a researcher, lecturer, consultant, editor and public speaker. On an inside-outside continuum, she works on sustaining people to take care of themselves by taking care of their environments –together generating a positive impact on communities as well as the environment they live in.
