“Now, through neuroaesthetics and biophilic principles, designers can confidently strip away the guesswork and present design not as opinion—but as prescription. It’s a process that now mirrors that of a clinician—measuring stressors, identifying sensory patterns, and crafting spaces that truly regulate and restore. It’s the deepest level of bespoke: spaces designed in harmony with a client’s neurobiological fingerprint.”
–Erica McLain
“Architects and designers have a greater ability to improve public health than medical professionals.” – Dr.Claudia Miller
When we experience beauty it gives us pleasure… a sense of awe and wonder. It lowers our heart rate. Blood pressure. Beauty creates a biological response… and arousal.
“Beauty is the superpower that sustains us over the millennia.”
