20 Jun 2025
Lesley Ray, a classically trained violinist turned visionary designer, who’s blending neuroscience, wellness, and AI to create responsive, emotionally intelligent homes through her company BrainHome. From scent-triggered slumber routines to lighting that aligns with your brainwaves, Lesley is redefining what interior design can do—and who it’s meant to serve. Key Discussion Points: Why traditional design ignores most of our senses—and how that impacts our well-being How AI and neuroscience are reshaping architecture and interiors The science behind scent, light, sound, and sleep quality How a childhood of musical performance helped Lesley understand human emotion BrainHome’s bedroom installations that adapt to each user’s stress and sleep cycle The challenges of designing for multiple brains in shared spaces Future possibilities: from personalized hotels to environments that prevent disease Why every home could (and should) function like preventative medicine Takeaways: Smart homes can do more than automate—they can heal Environment is one of the most overlooked drivers of health Design should reflect how we live, think, and feel—not just how we want things to look The future of wellness is multisensory, personalized, and built into your walls Innovation happens when you mix disciplines—like music, science, and architecture Closing Thoughts:Lesley Ray is showing the world that a home can be more than a shelter—it can be a sanctuary wired for your emotional and physical well-being. With BrainHome, she’s turning visionary ideas into real-world change, proving that when you design with empathy, intelligence, and science, your home doesn’t just reflect who you are—it supports who you’re becoming.
