Interior Design School of Design

Shannon Burns (she/her)

I am an interior designer inspired and influenced by creating a-typical, inclusive environments, in both playful and professional scenarios. So for my final project, ‘Sense’, I have designed a multi-use complex, targeted to break down the average hobby and learning experience, and create a more inclusive space for neuro-divergents to be fully comfortable in a social environment. Using the senses as a primary focus and influence on my design decisions, I have developed an immersive sensory centre, that takes into consideration a wide range of people and their needs.

Through my dissertation, titled: ‘The Link between Architecture and Environmental Design to Criminal Behaviour’, I have also learned about how interiors and environments can influence a person’s way of thinking, and also their behaviour and actions. And although not directly linked to the theme of my project, this research that took place has influenced my designs, by highlighting how important all of the senses are in an interior space, and how those senses can make a person feel.
