Title: What there is to learn from The Quietest Place on Earth with Emma Orfield Johnston

Bio: Emma is an Executive at Orfield Laboratories Inc., the nation's only independent, multi-sensory design research and consulting firm, working in architecture, design, and product development. As a multi-disciplinary lab, Orfield consults in each area of design as related to human perception, including Acoustics, AV, Lighting, Daylighting, Thermal Comfort, and Indoor Air Quality. In each of these areas, the firm's orientation is perceptual comfort, designing spaces and products that are low in stimulus and therefore perceptually comfortable for the user.

With a focus in cognitive and perceptual disabilities, Orfield's background includes extensive experience in the study of Autism, Dementia, Aging, Anxiety, PTSD, Sensory-Processing Disorder, Blindness, Deafness, etc. This focus has resulted in the incarnation of the world's first multi-sensory design standards in architecture and design for Autism, Dementia, and a series of mental illnesses.

Emma has a great interest in the restorative experiences of life and the impact of the natural world on hypersensitives and by extension, all people. She is immersed in broad areas of therapeutics and is involved in the beginning phases of research regarding the impact of the Orfield Anechoic Chamber ("Quietest Place on Earth" - Guinness, 2022) on disability and mental illness groups. Emma facilitates private sessions in their anechoic chamber on a by-appointment basis.
