Elysa Fenenbock brings 15+ years of experience design mastery to the emerging field of psychedelic medicine. As a senior designer at IDEO, she led initiatives across education, consumer products, and medical devices—designing systems and experiences that empower human wellbeing. At Google, she created immersive programs that helped thousands of employees unlock creativity, develop authentic leadership, and drive cultural transformation.

Her expertise spans the full spectrum of experience design—from intimate healing spaces to large-scale programs reaching over 2,000 participants. She has led life design workshops with Reimagine End of Life, built interactive art installations centered on grief, and taught Stanford courses on reimagining death and integrating play into design. As an artist, she crafts immersive environments that invite difficult dialogue and collective meaning-making. Across healthcare, wellness, education, and corporate innovation, she designs transformational experiences rooted in structured methodology and human connection.

After creating Stanford’s first course bridging design thinking and psychedelic medicine—evolving experimental “taboo” content into an established university offering—she founded The School of Psychedelic Design to make these pioneering frameworks accessible beyond academic walls.
