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.

Discover the powerful connection between art, health, and wellbeing.
Three remarkable artists from Santa Fe, Philadelphia, and Asheville will share how art positively impacts the nervous system, emotional balance, and physical health. You’ll also hear about groundbreaking research from the World Health Organization, Penn State University, the National Endowment for the Arts, and others showing that art reduces stress, lowers heart rate, and decreases cortisol levels in the body.
This exciting conversation features Roxanne Darling (Santa Fe), Jenny Fisher (Asheville), and Trisha Patel (Philadelphia) — accomplished artists whose work is deeply supported by science and dedicated to healing through creativity.
At Science in Design ®️, we believe art has the power to transform our homes, our health, and our daily lives in meaningful ways. It’s time for art to receive the recognition it deserves as a vital part of wellness and healing.
