Founded by Ariane Sanders, Sonda Studio was created from the belief that design should go beyond aesthetics - it’s about creating spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but actively support how people think, feel, and perform.

Ariane’s curiosity about the relationship between environment and human behaviour led her to neurodesign - the science of how spaces affect the brain and body - a principle she now weaves into every project.

Ariane is an award-winning interior architect, creative designer, and spatial storyteller. She brings both creative direction and strategic thinking to every brief. Each project starts by deeply understanding the people behind the space - their goals, culture, values, and how they want to feel and function in their environment. This insight drives a holistic design process that considers layout, light, materiality, and sensory impact to create human-centred environments.

Let’s design spaces that help people feel more like themselves — in work, in life, and in the environments they belong.

Why Sonda?

Sonda echos the word sonder- the realisation that every person has a story as rich and complex as our own. This perspective shapes the way we design: with empathy, curiosity, and a belief that every space should support the individual lives unfolding within it.
