I’m Elianne Alblas. I’m an interior designer, but probably not the kind you’re picturing.

I’ve spent twelve years shaping spaces. Restaurants, offices, hotels, homes. I’m self-taught, which means I never learned the ‘right’ way to do things. I learned by doing, by looking, by paying obsessive attention to how a room makes you feel when you walk in. Along the way, I became fascinated by a question most designers never ask: what is this room actually doing to the people in it? Not aesthetically. Neurologically. I started reading everything I could find on environmental psychology, neuroscience, and neuro-inclusive design. Not as a scientist – as a designer who wanted to understand why some spaces make people sharper, calmer, more creative. And why others quietly drain them. That obsession became my work. Today I combine design experience with spatial research to help people and organisations create environments that genuinely support how they think, focus, and feel.
