Neurodivergent Founder Consulting &

Nervous-System Informed Systems Design

Helping organizations reduce burnout, improve retention, and unlock neurodivergent talent by redesigning how work actually gets done.

Most organizations unintentionally exhaust and lose their most cognitively valuable Founders and employees. Not because of capability.
Because of system mismatch. , Real Impact.

Neurodivergent Founders and staff, those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and high-sensitivity nervous systems are often:

  • Highly creative

  • Pattern-oriented

  • Strategic

  • Deeply committed

Modern workplaces overload:

  • Executive function

  • Working memory

  • Emotional regulation

  • Sensory processing

Our Approach

We design work systems that support how neurodivergent brains actually operate.

We work at the intersection of:

  • Executive function science

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Organizational design

  • Neurodivergent lived experience

Instead of asking people to mask, push, and burn out, we redesign:

  • Workflows

  • Expectations

  • Communication

  • Feedback

  • Load distribution

So neurodivergent employees can think, contribute, and lead without collapse

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Neurodivergent employees are those whose brains process attention, sensory input, and regulation differently. This includes people with ADHD, autism, anxiety, learning differences, and high-sensitivity nervous systems. These differences affect how employees focus, communicate, manage workload, and recover from stress.

  • Because most workplaces are designed for constant availability, fast task switching, unclear expectations, and sensory overload. These conditions place extreme strain on executive function and nervous system regulation, leading to exhaustion, shutdown, and disengagement even in highly capable employees.

  • Traditional programs focus on awareness or individual resilience. Our work focuses on systems design. How workload, communication, deadlines, meetings, and expectations either support or undermine cognitive and nervous-system functioning.

  • No. When systems are designed to be regulation-safe and cognitively supportive, everyone benefits. Neurodivergent employees simply show where systems break first.

  • We do not replace HR or legal compliance. We help organizations go beyond minimum accommodations by designing environments that actually allow neurodivergent employees to perform, contribute, and stay.

    • Reduced burnout and turnover

    • Improved focus and follow-through
