Travel Design

Every family travels differently. And when neurodivergence is part of the picture, the difference between a trip that works and one that doesn't usually lives in the details most people don't think to consider.

Sleep schedules. Transition windows. The museum that's genuinely fascinating versus the one everyone goes to. The spontaneous karate class that becomes the memory your kid talks about for years.

I design from the inside out, starting with who your family actually is: what lights them up, what depletes them, what they need to feel free rather than managed. Interests, strengths, and autonomy aren't afterthoughts in my process. They're the starting point.

I know this terrain — not just professionally, but personally.

What’s Included

Every trip is custom-built from the ground up — starting with who your family is, not a template.

  • A custom itinerary designed around your family's pace, interests, and real-life rhythms

  • Flexible planning that builds in autonomy and room for the day to be what it actually is

  • Research into less-obvious options — the smaller museum, the off-season timing, the experience that fits your kid

  • ND-informed logistics: Sunflower lanyard info, airport sensory rooms and play areas, businesses that know how to interact respectfully with neurodivergent travelers

  • A Notion Digital Travel Companion — everything in one place, updateable, accessible to everyone with a link, so nothing gets lost in an email thread

Add-Ons

These are available at an additional cost — because not every family needs everything, and you should only pay for what fits.

These are the details I include because I'm thinking about your whole family — including the people who don't usually get their own section of the itinerary.

  • Teen Travel Companion — a version of the itinerary written directly to your teenager, highlighting what might actually interest them. Not a watered-down adult version. Theirs.

  • Kid Capture Guide — a simplified companion for school-age kids who want to document the trip their way: photos, stories, memories

  • Travel Playlist — curated soundscapes, meditations, and music for the airport, the plane, and the in-between moments. Brown noise, nature sounds, stories, and artists they already love

  • Postcard Service — links to services that turn their own travel photos into real postcards, sent to people they love while they're still on the road

  • Educational Supplements — trivia, background, and rabbit holes for the curious ones. For funsies, not homework.

What This Costs (and Why)

Travel design services typically range from $2,000–$4,000, depending on your trip’s scope and how much support you need along the way.

I intentionally work with a small number of families at a time. You've probably spent enough time in systems that didn't have bandwidth for your family. This isn't that.

I start with the right questions — and then I listen for what's underneath the answers.
