Simran Safer, MS., WELL AP | LEED GA
Simran Safer works at the intersection of neuroscience, human physiology, and the built environment, translating the science of perception, regulation, and behavior into real-world spaces. Her work reframes design as a form of nervous system infrastructure—where beauty becomes functional and experience shapes how people feel, adapt, and thrive.
Rooted in public health, neuroscience, and human physiology, Simran’s work explores how space becomes a living interface between body, mind, and environment. Her perspective was shaped early by lived experience—watching her parents navigate migration from Kenya to England and then to the United States, and witnessing how shifts in culture, space, and environment reshaped identity, behavior, and belonging. These early observations sparked a lifelong inquiry into how environments regulate the human experience.
With a Master’s in Health Communication and Policy, an undergraduate degree in Health Sciences focused on behavior change and exercise physiology, and advanced training in sustainability, design, and leadership, she works at the nexus of the health paradigm in the built environment. Across projects, teaching, and research collaboration, her work translates emerging science into real-world environments—where beauty becomes functional and experience becomes the engine of lasting change.
