We Teach Global Interior Designers How to Improve Occupant Health and Well-being in Spaces Through Neuroaesthetics and Neurodesign

Neuroaesthetics draws from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and philosophy to study how the brain perceives and responds to beauty, art, and design, revealing how aesthetic experiences influence our emotions, memory, and well-being. Neurodesign draws from neuroscience and psychology to shape spaces that guide attention, evoke emotion, and influence behavior, often on a subconscious level, helping people feel more connected, focused, and at ease in their environments.

By understanding human biology you can create environments that support improved health outcomes.  At the NeuroDesign Academy, we teach global interior design professionals on neuroaesthetic and neurodesign principles and how to implement science-back strategies into the design process.  


Our programming is "backed by science and defined by beauty."



Embark on a transformative journey to understand how science powers design.

We offer a variety of courses and research studies for interior design professionals to access information on designing for health and well-being in the built environment 


Learn about the science that drives design

Discover the profound influence of neuroaesthetics and neurodesign have on human well-being in the built environment. Learn how beauty shapes form and feeling, optimizing environments for health. Discover the powerful biometric tools of Visual Attention Software and iMotions to support your design decisions. Discover that you have the power to improve health outcomes.


Upon completion, receive a certificate, affirming your knowledge in harnessing nature and beauty to drive design.
