NovaMinds Labs is a research-first, human-first lab exploring how technology can better support autistic and neurodivergent lives.
NovaMinds Labs is a public research space dedicated to understanding and designing technology that centers neurodivergent experiences.
We believe that humane technology begins with listening to the people it's meant to serve. Our work is slow, intentional, and guided by the belief that accessibility is not an afterthought, but a foundation.
Not as an afterthought, but as a foundation. We envision a future where autistic and neurodivergent people are supported by technology that respects sensory needs, cognitive differences, emotional regulation, and autonomy, without pressure to conform.
NovaMinds Labs exists to research, experiment, and publicly explore how technology can better support autistic and neurodivergent people.
We study existing tools, question harmful assumptions, share learnings openly, and prototype neurodivergent-first systems, prioritizing safety, accessibility, and lived experience over optimization or productivity.
Designing tools and systems built from the ground up with neurodivergent needs at the center, not as accommodations added later.
Exploring interfaces that reduce cognitive load, sensory overwhelm, and unnecessary complexity.
Engaging in open inquiry, documenting what we learn and sharing findings with the broader community.
We listen, read, and gather insights from neurodivergent communities.
We imagine what technology could look like if it truly served neurodivergent minds.
We prototype, test, and iterate, always in dialogue with the people we aim to support.
