Research-Informed Design for Newfangled Ways of Working
Insights drawn from cognitive science-based studies of newer workplace forms, in-office movement, and Earth-friendly design can be used to create spaces where people work to their full potential.
Designing in Brand Personality
Design can support a chosen brand personality – or not. Scientists have learned how sensory experiences send messages that can boost product/place reputations and sales.
Design and Remembering
Design can improve the performance of our memories – and that’s important whether we’re at work, at school, or debating the details of a movie plot with friends. Lighting and acoustics and many other physical experiences influence whether we remember, or not.

Even in today’s electronics-centric offices, where a person sits relative to other employees still has a major effect on their workplace experiences and performance.
