On Sale Now: The Eccentric Genius Habitat Intervention; Interior Design for Highly Sensitive People
The manifesto and how-to guide for creating spaces that support your genius.
- Learn how your brain may be different from those around you, and how to use design to support your superpowers.
- Sensory assessment exercises help you understand why you might struggle with things that seem simple to others, and show you what systems you can create to get the support you need.
- Understand how small annoyances can foster big health problems, and how to boost your mental and physical health by adapting your environment.
- Work with color, sound, light and space in ways that transform your experience of everyday life.
- Notice how your space mirrors your relationships, and learn to adjust physical boundaries to create more harmony and balance in your emotional life.
- Step into your agency on a personal and societal level, and use your expanded awareness to create healing in those around you.

Three senses your kindergarten teacher didn’t mention. (And how they make you a NINJA.)
The design trend which created an epidemic of shut-ins. (NOT COVID-19. Some of us now know the meaning of schadenfreude.)
Why Febreze is EVIL. (There should be a warning label.)
What kinds of light fixtures will be BANNED when the establishment comes to its senses.
What color has to do with hormones. (And how to leverage it–St. John’s Wort, piffle!)
What NEVER to do, ever ever, if you do not wish to induce psychosis, extreme depression, vertigo, or actual regurgitation in guests and members of your own family. (We all love those Bad Examples.)
