Ms. Hoeksema is an architect and author of essays. Her passion is her music. Her conceptual foundation is Nature. With extensive experience in the human sciences, she has developed a precise methodology for shaping environmental experience. Intuitively and intellectually she integrates natural principles into analyses of humanist habitation. Through a physiological understanding of fabricated place, she works to generate interactive experiences in which people engage in multisensory 'presence'. As a professional architect, she continues to produce work in various mediums relatable to international audiences.

Originally, she was on path to become a physician. She then expanded her focus from health at the human scale to habitable environments, upon receiving a university scholarship in architecture. She is currently researching architec-tonic approaches to shaping places that align with principles of 'tonicity', including the generation of oxygen plus surrounds and waste free production processes. She is an experimental practitioner of experiential fabrication in many mediums of conveyance, such as drawing, textiles, and audio and photo recording. She composes with multiple mediums in process, articulating ways these mediums establish a method resulting in authentic interactivity, ultimately engaging 'balance'.

During her younger years, she was an advanced student of calculus and chemistry. Her first year in architecture school she drafted a well researched essay about the effects of maternity ward environments on birth outcomes, in contrast to the home birth experience. In graduate school she was extricated from a team of three in her structures class for directing an analysis of the Tacoma Narrows bridge failure toward a humanist perspective; a critique of industrial civilization and consequences of rapid technological development. Her experiences eventually led to her innovative approach toward shaping living environments, simultaneously scientific and philosophical.

Her ongoing balancing act between science and humanism eventually led to her pursuit of architecture, with a focus in natural science. She still considered being a doctor upon completing her pre-med coursework. Though she chose a different path after sensing inherent contradictions between medical technology and well being. Later in time, this sentiment guided her interest in shaping healing environments. She graduated from SCIArc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) as a Master of Architecture. She received an A+ during her undergraduate college ballet class only as a consequence of an essay she wrote.

The breadth of Hoeksema's architectural experience includes roles on internationally significant projects (Music and Dance Theatre, Kaufmann Foundation, et al). She has worked with the likes of renowned architects including Eric Lloyd Wright and multiple international ateliers. Through her private practice she has been commissioned nationally to articulate cultural places and home environments. She revealed ancient secrets in Chaco Canyon New Mexico (2019-2024), an experience which continues to fine tune her focus on the effects of habitable places on cultural balance.

She has taught at a number of higher learning institutions (School of Art Institute Chicago, University of Southern California, et al) in addition to modest public speaking and volunteer work with organizations like Rush Medical University and Free Arts for abused children. She chose to leave Harvard's Graduate School of Design after discovering inherent contradictions between ethics and teaching. She is founder of the in-progress entity 'Institute of Environmental Intellect' poised to offer an authentic approach to environmentally based research projects.

Her multidisciplinary 'architectonics' lab HHEAL has been active for over two decades. She has been involved in the practice and academia of architecture for over 30 years. She has established the publishing entity 'Singular Architecture' which represents literary, musical, and cinematic compilations as 'essays'. Her current authored documentation includes recordings of 'archaeotonic' events in the ancient ruins of Chaco Canyon and her book 'Chaco Papers: Volume I'.

Her recent published works include architecture, books, music, and cinema. She currently composes writing, musical verse, and montage in various essay genre including stories and critiques. She produced her first singer songwriter album and toured nationally (2017-2019) with intimate concerts. Her second music album 'My Tessitura' is in progress. Her work on Chaco Canyon is accompanied by a scientific theory titled 'Sineverse Proofs'. Her related talks integrate ideas about natural science, culture, and architectonics translating transcendentally between cosmic and human scales of life.

Ms. Hoeksema was born in Phoenix, in a federal Indian Health Service hospital. Her delivering physician was Dr. Childs. With her birth came a heart murmur. Though she was blessed with indigenous caregivers, syncing her rhythms into place. She almost drowned in a pool during this first year of life. Her parents then moved to the midwest with artifacts from her caregivers; an Indian doll and papoose.

Raised by an orthopedic surgeon and gallery connoisseur, she learned early on to translate between objective thinking and subjective intellect. She often found herself resonating between the two, at times lingering in suspense. She was a pianist for years. Her most memorable moment playing was a concert trio of 'Canon in D'. She also had the fascinating experience of singing with a choir in Carnegie Hall. This later inspired her to write and sing her own music, then produce ‘tonic’ experiences that give people voice.

Her grandmothers cared for her grandfathers. Her mother's mother left the eighth grade to nurse her dying sister. Her father's mother kept boxes of personal journals. Her mother's father started his own electric company in his basement after being shot during WWII. Her father's father was a navy man and doctor of organic chemistry and invented / patented multiple vaccines for treating staphylococcus bacterial infections. Her uncles started Mastercraft furniture. They worked hard for what they earned; respected people and environments around them. They had character.

Living in many regions of the states, she often found herself observing more than producing for fear of being wasteful. Working, thinking, teaching, writing, she continues to montage her experiences together. She had two dogs as she navigated across the country. The first one Tess, bit her mom on the head. The second, Dozer, chewed up her Indian doll. As a child, her dog Brandy was her best friend. She thinks patriarchal religion, unbridled, will mathematically lead to extinction of the human man. So she has been fabricating a healing labyrinth. Along the way, she has learned the value of life. She has also learned the significance of freedom.
