Designing for sensory experience

Making creative and cultural work resonate more deeply through research on art, design and wellbeing.

Most environments are designed one sense at a time.

Experience is felt where the senses come together.

I bring neuroscience, sensory design and human behaviour into experience design, translating research into insight that shapes how experiences are designed and felt.


Closing the gap between creative intention and lived experience.

Creative decisions shape how an experience is felt.

Science reveals why.

Attention is fragmented - making it harder to design for experiences that truly hold it.

When sensory touchpoints are aligned, an experience shifts from considered to genuinely felt.

In a live installation, we measured design’s impact.

+ 26% relaxation.  + 24% presence. 29% shift from cognitive to embodied awareness.

Projects

    Rollr, a Mother Design brand, award-winning luxury deodorant

  • “Saskia blended science and creativity in a way that felt effortless.”

    Design Hotels

  • “Saskia is insightful as she is inspiring and makes information easy to digest.”

    Hausense Design, Masterclass on Neuroscience in Design

  • “What sets Saskia apart is her ability to translate complex science into accessible insights. Neuroscience became something participants could hold, play with, and recognize in their own creative lives. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any community serious about creativity, meaning, and making science feel alive.”
