About
Better Information About the Spaces We Live In
We're told to buy the laundry pods, switch to the clean shampoo, replace the candles. But we're rarely taught how any of it works or why it matters in the first place. The concern people have about their home environments is well-founded. What hasn't kept up is the quality of information available to do something about it.
This site covers the indoor environment: air, water, materials, products, and the systems that connect them. The goal is to be useful in a real way, which means starting with how things actually work rather than what to swap out. Knowing what laundry detergent does chemically will serve you better than any ranked list of approved pods.
Background
One Question Across Several Fields
Caring about what environments do to living things has always come naturally to me, and the training just followed that interest into different disciplines over time. Cosmetology covered product formulation and skin chemistry, which shapes how I read an ingredient list and what I look for in it. Interior design introduced the material reality of built spaces: what finishes, adhesives, and textiles are made of and what they release into a room. Hazardous materials inspection made all of that very concrete very fast. Biophilic design brought it together through the research on how the spaces we occupy affect our health, cognition, and long-term wellbeing.
On the use of AI
Each of those fields informs a different part of what's covered here. The tools on this site also use current AI technology to help compile and cross-reference information at a scale that would be difficult to manage otherwise. The sourcing is broader for it, and the judgment calls are still mine.
Who This Is For
Anyone Who Wants to Understand Their Home
Parents thinking carefully about their children's environments. People dealing with sensitivities or health concerns they can't quite trace back to a source. Anyone who has stood in a cleaning products aisle wishing they had better information to work with. You don't need a background in chemistry or design to use this site, though the sourcing holds up if you do.
