Meet Rachel Jackson
I'm Rachel Jackson, a neuroinclusive interior designer and sensory design consultant based in Austin, TX. I've spent over twenty years in residential design, and the last several of those have been focused specifically on how the sensory details of a home affect the people living in it, especially people whose nervous systems are wired differently.
My approach is informed by occupational therapy principles. I look at lighting quality, acoustic conditions, visual complexity, spatial flow, and texture, and I think about how each of those elements supports or disrupts nervous system regulation for the specific people in the room.
I hold certifications from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization in both ADHD and chronic disorganization, a certificate of study from Oxford University in domestic architecture, and I'm a Fitwel Ambassador through the Center for Active Design.
I'm also an IDCEC-certified continuing education provider, which means some of the workshops I teach carry CEU credit for designers. I've trained designers across 22 countries on sensory-friendly design methodology, and I collaborate regularly with occupational therapists, professional organizers, and mental health professionals.
In May 2026, I'll be speaking at HD Expo in Las Vegas on neuroinclusive design for the hospitality industry, a session that was selected as the top-ranked submission by their Education Advisory Committee.
These courses grew out of the same questions I kept hearing from both homeowners and designers:
Everything here is built from the methodology I use in my own practice, grounded in real projects and real client scenarios.
Whether you're a homeowner trying to make your space work better for your family, or a design professional looking to add sensory-friendly skills to your practice, this is where that training lives.

- How do you actually assess a space for sensory impact?
- What do you change first?
- How do you design for a family where one person needs quiet and another needs stimulation?
