We are empathetic, driven advocates for research-based design.
Asylum takes an integrated approach to understand our clients’ DNA and solve their problems, enabling the co-design and delivery of therapeutic environments with genuine impact.
We create Universal Design strategies that combines sensory design, trauma-informed design, and academic research with psychology, occupational therapy, acoustic engineering, specialist lighting, haptics, optical & thermal comfort, and interior design.
The benefits? Purposeful, dignified and therapeutic environments that are inclusive, celebrate individuality, and lay the foundation for a supported and engaged community.
Our Founder
“Asylum’s mission is to use evidence-based sensory design to create therapeutic environments for vulnerable people.
Holding physical space is one of the largest investments for any organisation, so I believe it should work hard and with purpose to earn its keep.”
With over a decade of experience in project and design management in construction, Jasmine has delivered complex fit-outs, refurbishments, and large-scale developments for both public and private clients.
A mission-driven design advocate, Jasmine bridges the gap between technical rigour and human-centred design, bringing deep expertise in stakeholder engagement and co-design to create space for difficult conversations that uncover critical insights from vulnerable and underrepresented communities.
Beyond her design practice, Jasmine contributes to health policy as a Consumer Representative on the NSW Eating Disorder Recovery Board, and draws on her own lived experience with mental health as a Mental Health Ambassador in Construction, championing empathy, inclusion, and systemic change within the built environment.
