She holds a Master of Arts Degree in Interior Design with emphasis in Accessible and Universal design from San Francisco State University. She is also an Adjunct Instructor in Interior Design at Santa Rosa Junior College where she teaches Barrier–Free Design. Andrée’s extensive knowledge of ADA accessibility codes has convinced her of the importance of applying universal design principles to residential construction. She has written and published The Residential Universal Design Guide, a Manual for Architects, Interior Designers, and Builders. Ms. Langlois believes strongly that providing accessibility need not interfere with good design.
