Textures, sounds, flavors, and smells highten the perception of a space and create experiences that awaken the emotions.

She specializes in sensory design for renovation projects, hotels, and luxury retail establishments and has completed projects for brands such as Camper, Manolo Blahnik, Grupo Swatch, Suáres Joyeros, and Aristocrazy.
In this course, Nayra teaches you how to take on an interior design project based on the senses from beginning to end. Learn all there is to know, from what sensory design actually is and how to design an experience through sensory marketing, to how to present your project on social media to give your work more visibility.

PlusJust completed the Sensory Design course on Domestika and I'm thoroughly impressed! The instructor brought deep insights and innovative techniques that opened my eyes to the power of engaging all senses in design. Each lesson was detailed and well-paced, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The practical assignments were particularly valuable, pushing me to apply what I learned in real-world scenarios.

Questo corso mi ha entusiasmata sin dalla prima lezione. Ho seguito altri corsi sul tema dell'interior design qui su domestika, ma questo ha davvero qualcosa in più: oltre alla tematica che è sicuramente molto interessante, è il primo corso in cui le cose non vengono dette solamente in modo generale ma vengono spiegate più approfonditamente anche con le presentazioni che si possono scaricare dalle risorse aggiuntive. L'ho adorato e lo consiglio a tutti!
