Agathe Lazaro has worked for 30 years in the design industry creating extraordinary retail environments, private interiors, fashion and home collections in France, India and Australia.  Agathe’s unique creative intelligence and rejection of “style recipes” has led her to collaborate with design leaders including Rajeev Sethi, Francis Wacgziarg, Aman Resorts, Sir Terence Conran, Agnès Comar, Tsé & Tsé associées and Alan Bilzerian. She is also the creator of La Maison Rose in Pondicherry, India, which has cult status as a retail concept store and has been featured in The World of Interiors.

In 2023, Agathe established a design practice based on Sensory Intelligence® Consulting in Australia. Collaborating with architects, interior designers, businesses, event producers and private clients, her design service takes a human-centred, sensory approach to designing and realising environments of enhanced beauty and style that promote productivity, respect, psychological safety, and evidence-based design strategies for deep well-being. 
 
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Agathe’s passion for a deeper understanding of how humans interact and experience the spaces around them led her to study with pioneers in intuitive intelligence, nervous system polyvagal theory, biophilic principles and sensory design. She has weaved together her unique interior design experience with advanced qualifications in sensory processing to create a new kind of design practice. 
 
Through diagnostics and sensory maps, using Sensory Intelligence® Consulting, Agathe works with architects, interior designers and other creatives to support strategic decisions around colour, materials, soft furnishings and all aspects of the architectural/Interior experience and ergonomics. Her designs truly connect to the senses and fulfil the intention and purpose of the space. “I am driven by the desire to create the experience of beauty with our unique biology as its revolving centre.”
 
Early projects include re/designing home workspaces and virtual meeting/mise-en-scène backdrops and assisting clients with creative briefs for architects and interior designers. After her sensory diagnostics, clients find it much easier to consolidate decisions and complete project briefs, avoiding issues, delays and costs further down the building/design process. With each commission, Agathe’s goal is to bring a human-centred approach to all architecture and design: “so the environments we create to support our nervous system, ultimately creating spaces that heal, nurture, inspire happiness and expand our selves.”
