SPACES THAT EMBRACE
Some spaces calm you the moment you enter.
Some make you feel more alive.
Some hold you, as if they were made just for you.
This does not happen by accident. It is not a trend. It is science.
At Matriarch we believe that the best interiors do more than look beautiful—they change how you feel, think, and live.
We create spaces that are:
✔ Sophisticated, but never sterile.
✔ Comfort-driven, but never conventional.
✔ Stylish, but never impractical.
Every detail—light, texture, color, spatial flow—is carefully considered through the lens of neuroscience, sensory sensitivity, and executive function support.
We take on a limited number of clients per year to ensure the highest level of creative integrity and work life balance, allowing us to craft spaces that are as intelligent as they are beautiful. Our unique approach ensures that, from the initial idea to the final touches, your needs remain at the forefront.
NOT YOUR FATHER’s DESIGN FIRM
Matriarch is led by Jessica Weiss, neurodivergent Architect + Interior Designer
Matriarchs are often seen as wise, strong, and respected leaders who make important decisions and provide guidance and support to those around them.
Like a trusted Matriarch, our approach aims to care for the people, places, and planet we serve. Our service is rooted in the belief that your home is your sanctuary and should foster comfort and contentment. Likewise, we believe in carefully crafting public spaces to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging while out in the world. We are here to impart joyful ideas, produce a clear design vision, sort out the details, cultivate collaboration between trades, guide decision making, ensure timely completion of all project phases, and add the finishing touches. This turnkey design approach offers a seamless journey from conception to completion, allowing you to enjoy a stress-free experience.
what we do
At Matriarch, we create emotionally intelligent environments rooted in the science of neuroaesthetics—the study of how our surroundings influence cognition, mood, and well-being. Our approach prioritizes sensory harmony, sustainability, and timeless beauty to ensure every space is not just aesthetically compelling but deeply functional, restorative, and attuned to the people who live in it.
Our process is deeply collaborative yet intentional, ensuring that each space reflects the unique presence of those who inhabit it. We believe that good design is inherently inclusive, sustainable, and sensory-friendly, and we approach each project with a commitment to both aesthetic excellence and human-centered function.

The spaces we inhabit have a profound impact on our cognitive, emotional and physical well-being.
Neurodesign is an innovative design approach that considers the latest insights from neuroscience, psychology, and the emerging field of neuroaesthetics when crafting a space. Through understanding how the brain processes and responds to various sensory inputs, we strive to create environments that support all minds.
Our unique position as a neurodivergent-owned business equips us to approach design from this distinct perspective. We know and honor the unique relationship neurodivergent people have with others, with objects, and with their environment.
Jessica, our Neurodesign expert, works with clients to evaluate their spaces, identify sensory triggers, and implement thoughtful design solutions. These solutions often include the integration of adaptable layouts, sensory-friendly materials, and biophilic elements, along with noise redirection techniques, indoor air quality monitoring, strategic lighting optimization, visual stimuli balancing, and executive functioning assistance measures.
We help communities, companies, and small businesses become more neuro-inclusive through design. We help families with neurodivergent needs create safe spaces that foster independence. Whether it's a serene home sanctuary or a productivity-boosting office, our neurodesign solutions are tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each client.
