HIGH POINT, N.C. — The NeuroDesign Academy will offer a full day of educational seminars during the upcoming High Point Market. Presented in partnership with Andmore, the NeuroDesign Academy’s Emotional Design Series: Emotional Design, the Power of NeuroDesign to Nurture Mind, Body and Soul will be held 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Suites at Market Square.
Designed by NeuroDesign Academy founder Linda Kafka and Nicole Baxter of Nicole Baxter Design, the series will feature a host of speakers presenting on topics such as neuroscience, marketing, sensory design and material innovation.
“Every session is more than a presentation — it’s an experience,” Kafka said. “The talks are designed to build on the previous one. Attendees won’t just listen; they’ll be asked to participate, explore, engage and contribute.”
Speakers at the event include Baxter, Kafka, designer Lori Miller, Marco Baldocchi of Neuralisys Inc., designer Brooke Pajkurich, Tom Inman of Solid Appalachian Wood, color researcher Ellen Divers, Julia Reinert of The Lifestyle Historian, Jaye Anna Mize of Future Snoops, designer Rochelle Porter, Cortni and Raman Bhardwaj of Clever Doodle Design, and Robert Streit of Private Label Fragrance.
Session topics include:
- Designing the Emotional Home: Where Well-Being Begins.
- NeuroMaterials: How Touch, Texture and Temperature Influence Emotion.
- From Forest to Feeling: The Emotional Power of Wood.
- Rethinking Color: A Talk for Designers Who Trust Their Intuition.
- Timeless Appeal: Why Nostalgia and Story Stir the Soul.
- Doodle to Innovate: How Small Scribbles Spark Big Ideas.
- Neuromarketing for Interior Designers: The Brain Science Behind Client Attraction.
“These aren’t boring, dull lectures; they’re interactive, experiential sessions designed to spark creativity and curiosity,” Baxter said. “Attendees will have the chance to explore ideas through hands-on activities, color workshops, tactile material explorations, olfactory and live biometric facial expression demonstrations, and so much more.”
Experiential participation is limited to the first 50 registrants. Registration is now open online.
