Find your Colour & Design Psychology Consultant

Karen Haller

Over the past few years, Applied Colour & Design Psychology has become a sought-after specialism in the creative and design world.
As more industries recognise the need for human-centred and nature-led design, the role of colour is evolving beyond aesthetics to become a crucial tool in shaping experiences, emotions, and behaviours.
Professionals are realising there is a missing piece in their biophilic and sensory design, neuroaesthetics, and neurodiversity-focused practices.
And that missing piece is Applied Colour & Design Psychology – the key to deepening the connection between people, true nature, their environments, and the products they interact with.
To bridge this gap, I created the Find A Consultant page, where you can connect with professionals trained in Applied Colour & Design Psychology.
If you’re looking for a designer or creative who has been properly trained by me in the fundamentals of Applied Colour & Design Psychology, this is where you’ll find them.
Why being trained in Applied Colour & Design Psychology matters
There’s a huge difference between understanding colour & design psychology in theory and knowing how to apply it effectively in real-world scenarios.
You can read about how colour & design influences perception, emotion, and behaviour, but that doesn’t mean you know the complexity, the nuances, or how to use it strategically.
It’s like reading a book about riding a bike. You might understand balance in theory, but until you get on and ride, you haven’t developed the skill.
Every consultant listed on this page has completed my Advanced Colour & Design Methods for Industry Professionals course – a six-month, in-depth training programme.
Not everyone who takes this course passes. Only those who successfully complete the required work at certificate level are listed here.
These professionals have undergone structured learning, practical application, and assessment – far beyond simply reading about colour & design psychology in a book.
Since launching this course in 2015, I’ve trained interior, graphic and textile designers, marketers, branding professionals, product designers, architects, personal stylists, colour trend forecasters and artists from around the world across 16 countries.
This page brings together a selection of those professionals, and I continue to add more as they complete their certification.
You’ll also find me there, applying these principles across multiple industries globally, working directly with clients, and continuing to refine the methods, frameworks, and processes I teach.
One of the things I love about this area of specialty is that it can be utilised in any industry and can enhance and complement any field of work.
There’s no business that doesn’t use colour.
Why This Matters
Applied Colour & Design Psychology isn’t just about making things look good. It’s about understanding how colour and design shape the way people feel, behave, and interact with their environment and the word around them.
Colour and design are always at play. The difference is in the depth of understanding and the ability to apply it in a way that delivers measurable, positive psychological and behavioural outcomes.
