I’ve become much more aware lately of how many spaces are visually impressive but quietly exhausting to exist in.

As a caregiver for Ed after his brain tumor diagnosis, I’ve seen firsthand how much environments can impact energy, focus, conversation, and overall comfort. Sometimes it isn’t the crowd or the activity itself. Sometimes it’s the constant background noise, harsh acoustics, or the feeling that a space never allows your nervous system to fully settle.

And honestly, I think a lot more people are experiencing sensory fatigue than we realize.

The older I get, the more I think good design is often the stuff people never consciously notice at all. The spaces that feel calm. Comfortable. Easy to exist within. 🩶
