We are empathetic, driven advocates for research-led Therapeutic 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 an empowered and connected community.
Our Founder
“Asylum’s mission is to use evidence-based sensory design to create therapeutic environments that genuinely support and empower vulnerable communities.”
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 Statewide Eating Disorders Committee, 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.
