I'm excited to share that I've earned my Science in Design® Certification!
Learning has always been an important part of my journey because the more I learn, the better I can serve my clients.
This certification explores the fascinating science behind how our surroundings influence the way we think, feel, heal, and live. I studied evidence-based design principles, including neuroaesthetics, biophilic design, and salutogenic design, which demonstrate how thoughtfully designed spaces can help reduce stress, improve well-being, and create a greater sense of comfort and connection.
At Laurie Harris Interiors, I've always believed that great design is about more than making a home look beautiful. It's about creating spaces that truly support the people who live in them.
Whether I'm helping a homeowner prepare a house for sale, selecting the perfect color palette, designing for aging in place, or creating a welcoming and functional living space, my goal is always the same—to design with purpose and improve the way people experience their homes.
This certification gives me an even stronger, research-backed foundation to continue that mission.
A sincere thank you to Mike Peterson and the Science in Design team for an exceptional learning experience. I look forward to applying these principles to future projects!
