Ally Dowsing-Reynolds - Neurodiverse Design Expert

A neurodiverse design expert who is passionate about how spaces can affect the way that everyone feels. Diagnosed with high functioning ADHD, and with a husband diagnosed with ADHD, autism and dyslexia, Ally feels a lot of her life has led her on the path to developing this design consultancy. 

Ally has a particular interest in neuroaesthetics (a subdiscipline of cognitive neuroscience), which is advancing more intuitive design for better living and working. She, alongside leading doctors and scientists, believes that aesthetics can have a significant impact on how we relate to each other, our health and our wellbeing.

If you'd like to get a flavour for what Ally is like, you can see her presenting a mini-series for UK Locations which looks at the link between our wardrobes and our home style -- all whilst using her neurodiversity as a lens to understand the sensory factors that might be at play.
