---Impact Initiatives---

Auxa

ON-GOING: Mar 2025 - Present

Auxa is a multidisciplinary project focused on improving the daily experiences of individuals with autism through personalized lighting. Research suggests that lighting can significantly impact mood, focus, and overstimulation, yet current housing environments lack standards that address the sensory needs of neurodivergent individuals. The system adapts to individual preferences and environmental cues, helping users feel more comfortable, focused, and regulated in their spaces.
