Design Heals: The Secret Sauce Top Designers Are Using to Charge More
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.

I keep it honest—balancing work and chasing my two girls around.
