Kathryn Nicholson-Brown is Specification Director at Bureau, where she has spent over 20 years working alongside architects and designers to specify commercial interiors that perform as well for people as they do for design briefs.
A WELL Accredited Professional, she has navigated the shift from open-plan orthodoxy through pandemic-era hybrid working to today’s focus on personalised, neuroinclusive environments, and has seen firsthand how each cycle changes what “wellbeing” means in practice.
Her approach is shaped by her own lived experience of neurodiversity, informing a focus on sensory comfort, acoustic privacy and flexible working environments.
Kathryn’s work sits at the intersection of design, behavioural insight and real-world delivery – translating research on focus and wellbeing into environments organisations can actually implement.
