Austin Designer Rachel Jackson Takes Neuroinclusive Design to Three Global Stages

From a Las Vegas hospitality expo to a London design festival and the largest ADHD conference in North America, Rachel Jackson is taking a single concept with her.

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Throughout 2026, Rachel Jackson — a neuroinclusive interior designer and IDCEC-certified educator — has been addressing three kinds of events that rarely overlap: hospitality design, international design festivals, and clinical ADHD conferences. Viewed collectively, these appearances signify something larger than any single engagement: neuroinclusive design has moved beyond being a specialized topic confined to isolated industry pockets.

In May, Jackson participated in a fireside chat panel at the HD Expo + Conference in Las Vegas, one of the nation's premier hospitality design events, which drew over 10,000 designers, architects, and operators to Mandalay Bay. She was joined by Andrea Keller from 4D Design, and together they delivered a presentation titled "Designing for Different Minds: The Future of Neuroinclusive Hospitality," exploring the impact of lighting, acoustics, spatial flow, and fractal geometry on guest comfort and nervous system regulation within hotels and restaurants.

This autumn, Jackson is traveling to London for NeuroPlaces, the UK's inaugural B2B exhibition and conference focused on neuroinclusive, accessible, and inclusive design for public areas and workplaces. Scheduled for September 15–17, 2026, the event is part of Shoreditch Design Week, the largest official district within the London Design Festival. Jackson will host a fireside chat titled "Small Changes, Big Impact: Designing Neuroinclusive Spaces Without Major Renovation," and will also conduct a practical workshop named "The Sensory Audit," guiding participants through a systematic approach to detecting glare, echo, and visual clutter in existing environments.

In December, Jackson shifts the focus directly to those the work ultimately serves. She will lead a workshop at the 2026 International Conference on ADHD, co-hosted by ACO, ADDA, and CHADD, taking place in Baltimore from December 3–5 — this is the largest multidisciplinary ADHD event in North America. Her session, titled "Your Home Is Dysregulating You: A Sensory-Friendly Design Workshop," provides attendees with a personalized Sensory Home Audit and a concrete list of actions to implement at home.

"Half a year ago, I was discussing hotel lighting in Las Vegas. This fall, I'll be in London speaking with designers, and in December, I'll be in Baltimore addressing individuals with ADHD," Jackson remarked. "These aren't three distinct audiences. It's the same concept arriving in every space that influences how people experience their surroundings — because it ought to have been present in all of them from the beginning."

Jackson brings over two decades of interior design expertise to her practice, complemented by IDCEC certification and training from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization. She has ADHD herself and incorporates her own sensory insights into her professional work. Her services are not constrained by location — Jackson collaborates remotely with families and individuals, and provides nationwide education to designers via her IDCEC-approved course, Interior Design for Sensory-Friendly Homes.

Jackson is open to speaking engagements, workshops, and professional training opportunities. For inquiries, contact rachel@racheljacksondesign.com.
