Our interior design company is dedicated to creating inclusive and functional environments that benefit everyone, with a special focus on neurodivergent individuals. We create thoughtfully designed spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and conducive to focus and well-being.

Some might say that ADHD brains have superpowers such as hyper-focus and creativity. Knowing this, we can find creative solutions for the built environment to support these gifts and make ADHD-friendly spaces. It is important for designers to have a holistic approach to design that addresses mental and physical needs.
Many of the traits that individuals with ADHD present are shared with other neurodivergent populations. 1 in 10 people are neurodivergent, that is about 20% of the world's population (Nesbitt, K. V., & Friedrich, C., 2002).
Studies have shown that being close to nature reduces ADHD symptoms.
