What every designer needs to know about neuroaesthetics, biophilia, and charging what you're worth.

In this episode of Success by Design, host Katie Decker-Erickson sits down with Mike Peterson, founder of Science in Design, to unpack how neuroscience is validating what designers have known intuitively for years: beautiful spaces make people feel better—and now we have the data to prove they make people healthier too.

Here's what makes this episode unmissable:

  • Design lowers stress—literally. Discover how thoughtful environments can help reduce blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety.

  • Neuroaesthetics is your new superpower. Discover how top designers are using science to elevate their process—and their profits.

  • Biophilic design is more than a buzzword. It’s a biological imperative. Find out why your clients need nature.

  • Raise your rates with confidence. When you know your work is health-enhancing, your value skyrockets—and Mike shares exactly how designers are capitalizing on this.

  • Timeless is tired. Learn why clients are craving “organized complexity,” sensory balance, and mystery in design—and how to deliver it.
