Gabrielle joined the Science in Design panel at High Point Market 2023, presented by DesignOn HPMKT and sponsored by Sherwin-Williams.

This session, Designing for Health and Well-Being Through Beauty and the Brain, brought together thought leaders exploring how neuroscience and design intersect to improve human health.

Gabrielle shared her perspective on neuroaesthetic design and how beauty, light, and spatial rhythm influence the brain to support clarity, calm, and emotional balance. She discussed Mindwell Design’s applied approach, using design as a tool for cognitive and emotional wellness, transforming how clients feel and function in their daily lives.

The conversation reflected a growing movement in the industry: the use of science and data to validate what designers have intuitively known all along.. that beautiful, intentional spaces have measurable effects on the mind and body.

“When we understand how the brain responds to beauty, we can design spaces that truly heal.”
