SUCCESS STORIES FROM SCIENCE IN DESIGN®

You’ve learned the science. Now discover the opportunities it creates! Your new knowledge will help define your professional future. Join us on November 12 for an inspiring conversation about how Science in Design Certified designers are transforming their knowledge of neuroaesthetics and biophilic design into exciting new opportunities for professional growth.
 
Across the country, SID Certified designers are expanding their influence in remarkable ways. They’re being published in leading magazines, launching their own publications, hosting events at design centers, speaking at major markets, appearing on podcasts, lecturing at universities, presenting to Chambers of Commerce—and discovering new ways to distinguish themselves in an evolving industry.
 
What’s making these opportunities possible? They’re taking their knowledge of science beyond the design process and bringing it into the marketplace.
We hear this question from our community again and again: “Now that I understand the science, how do I take the next step? How do I market this knowledge, communicate its value, and position myself as a leader in this emerging field?”
That’s precisely why we created this webinar.
 
On November 12, you’ll hear from 12 SID Certified designers who are turning knowledge into action, expanding their professional horizons, and opening doors to new business opportunities. They’ll share their experiences, their initiatives, and the steps they’ve taken to move beyond their comfort zones and bring science-based design into the spotlight.
 
Their stories offer more than inspiration. They demonstrate what’s possible when you embrace a new body of knowledge and find the confidence to share it with the world. Your knowledge of science can do more than inform your designs. It can help define your professional future.

Applying Neuroaesthetics and Biophilia in Your Design Process

Applying Neuroaesthetics and Biophilia in Your Design Process brings together five certified Science in Design ®️ professionals—Kijrstjn Stahl, Nina Lichtenstein, Janine Arietta, Claudette Rowley, and Samantha Smith—to share how research-driven design is transforming the way we create healthier, more inspiring spaces.

As science continues to shape the future of interior design, the focus is shifting from understanding the research to putting it into practice. Discover the measurable benefits of design elements such as window seats, high-back chairs, fractal patterns, dappled lighting, and organized complexity. Learn where and how these features can be thoughtfully integrated to enhance well-being, comfort, and human performance.

Through real-world examples and professional insights, this distinguished panel will demonstrate how neuroaesthetics and biophilic design principles are being applied to create environments that positively influence health, resilience, and quality of life.

Neuroaesthetics and biophilic design are redefining the future of the home furnishings and interior design industry. Join us to discover how science and design come together to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also support human health and wellbeing.
