THE METHOD

What if your home is the missing piece you've been looking for?

Health is most often associated with nutrition, exercise, and sleep. But I believe the conversation needs to be broader. Research shows that interior design and architecture influence us far more than we once understood.

Through studies in neurodesign and biophilic design, I have developed a method that makes it easy to bring this research into everyday life — helping you create the home you truly need.

What do you need from your home, and how do you want it to make you feel?

Intuition

Fifteen years of experience distilled into practical tools.

Knowledge

Neurodesign and biophilic design. Insights into the brain and the environments that support our wellbeing.

Science

What your brain needs

WHAT WE NEED TO THRIVE

Neurodesign

Neurodesign and neuroarchitecture are interdisciplinary fields of research that have emerged in the 21st century as neuroscience, psychology, and architecture have increasingly converged. These fields explore how the brain and nervous system respond to the built environment – how spaces, light, materials, and form influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours on a biological level. As a relatively new field, its practical application is still evolving. However, the knowledge already exists, and my goal is to help you begin applying these principles and techniques in your own home.

Biophilia

The word biophilia means a love of life and living systems. It describes our innate connection to nature and how we can translate that understanding into the spaces we create and inhabit. Research has identified a number of recurring principles that explain what it is in nature we respond to, and how these qualities can be translated into architecture and interior design to support health and wellbeing. From an evolutionary perspective, we are designed to thrive in environments very different from those we have created and live in today. Our genes have not had enough time to reprogram the brain's fundamental instincts. These instincts remain and continue to shape how our brain and nervous system function. By understanding and working with these innate needs, we can create environments that help us feel better and provide what we truly need from our homes.
