About Jason
The Architect of Calm
I see spaces differently than most designers. Where others see furniture and colors, I see systems. I notice how light falls across a room at different hours. I feel how a chair's angle changes the energy of a conversation. I sense when a room is working against the people in it.
This awareness isn't something I learned in school. It's how I've always experienced the world. And after years of refining it, I've turned it into a design practice that helps high-performing professionals create homes that support the way their minds work.
The Gift of Noticing
Some people can walk through a cluttered room without registering the chaos. I've never been able to do that. My attention catches on every misaligned object, every competing color, every piece of visual noise.
Then I realized: what exhausts me in bad spaces makes me exceptional at creating good ones.
I notice what others miss. The way a lamp casts shadows that create subtle tension. The way a rug pattern fights with a pillow pattern, creating visual static. The way cable visibility underneath a desk creates a low-level sense of unfinished business.
These details matter. They affect mood, focus, productivity, and rest—even for people who can't articulate why they feel better in some rooms than others. I can articulate it. And I can fix it.
Four Pillars of Neuro-Aesthetic Design
The framework I developed through years of study and observation.
Visual Silence
Eliminating unnecessary visual information so the brain can rest. Every item either earns its place or creates noise.
Circadian Harmony
Light systems that work with your biology, signaling when to be alert and when to decompress.
Cognitive Flow
Spatial arrangements that reduce decision fatigue and guide natural movement through the space.
Sensory Intention
Every texture, color, and material chosen for its psychological impact, not just its appearance.
The First Project
Where the framework was proven.
The photos throughout this website show my first complete residential project—the home of a management consultant and MBA who was burning out from the demands of startup life.
He came to me frustrated. "I can't think in my own home," he told me. "It's supposed to be where I rest, but I feel agitated the moment I walk in."
I spent days in his space, not rearranging furniture, just observing. I noticed how light hit his desk at different times of day. I mapped his movement patterns. I identified every source of visual noise—and there were dozens.
Then I redesigned everything.
The empty desk policy in his office. The blue LED lighting that signals his brain to decompress. The industrial gear clock that anchors the eye. The monochromatic bedroom that eliminates color decisions during rest. The ombré curtains that guide visual flow. The hotel-fold towels that create order in the bathroom.
Each choice addressed a specific problem. Each choice had a reason rooted in how the brain processes space.
Jason treats the home as an 'External Brain.' He analyzed my workflow and built a sensory safety system that actually forces me to decompress. The 'Blue Light Protocol' in the living room is the only thing that shuts my brain off after a 14-hour day, and the 'Empty Desk' system has become critical for my executive function.
For any leader fighting burnout, Jason isn't just a designer—he is a strategic asset. He built the only place on earth where I can truly think.
Why I Do This Work
I believe everyone deserves a home that works with their mind, not against it. Too many people live in spaces that drain them without understanding why. They blame themselves for feeling tired, unfocused, or anxious at home. They don't realize the space itself might be the problem.
I want to change that. Through my design work and through the articles on this site, I share what I've learned about creating environments that support human flourishing.
The techniques aren't complicated. An empty desk. The right lighting. Strategic color choices. Intentional placement. These things sound simple, but their impact is profound when done with precision.
