Designing for Every Mind: Sensory Wellness, Neurodiversity, and the Future of Kitchen & Bath

What if great design could do more than look beautiful? What if it could help people feel calmer, think more clearly, and live more independently?

Join the NKBA Missouri / Southern Illinois Chapter for an inspiring presentation by Elle H-Millard, CKD, CLIPP, Founder and Principal Designer of Xperience LLC Designs, as she explores how thoughtful design can better support individuals with sensory sensitivities, neurodivergent minds, and people of all ages and abilities.

Through real-world examples and practical strategies, you'll learn how to create kitchens and baths that promote comfort, reduce stress, improve functionality, and foster a greater sense of belonging. Whether you're designing for a client, a family member, or your own home, this session will provide valuable insights you can begin applying immediately.

You'll learn about:

• Principles of neurodivergent-friendly design
• Sensory considerations in residential and commercial spaces
• Practical ways to improve comfort, focus, and well-being
• Real-world case studies and design solutions

Enjoy light bites and drinks while networking with fellow designers and industry professionals. Plus, attendees will have a chance to win an NKBA badge of their choice.

Whether you're an experienced designer, a student, or simply passionate about creating spaces that truly serve the people who use them, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
