Dr. Kati Peditto studies how the built environment shapes human cognition, behavior, and health. She holds a PhD in Human Behavior and Design from Cornell University and spent nearly a decade as a researcher at three of the top 10 design firms in the world. She now runs Built Experience Lab, a research consultancy closing the gap between science and design to create healthier, happier environments. Her work draws on environmental psychology, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology to show how the spaces we inhabit change us—and how we shape them in return.
