Who are we?
Uhmurs is a concept born in 2020 by Rae’ven Moon. While a student at UC Berkeley, she was quickly drawn to the tenets of environmental design, particularly topics such as biophilia and organic architecture. These concepts teach that humans possess an innate desire to seek connections with nature. Thus, when humans are surrounded by a natural environment, we experience enhancements to our mental and physical well-being. Specifically, we have seen improvements in mental headspace, calmness, creativity, and productivity. Uhmurs was founded to introduce and promote this concept to everyone, starting with our local community.
Our founding team came together around a passion for improving the well-being of others. It’s time to redefine our ideas of remote and hybrid work to emphasize our physical and mental well-being, a reconnection to our communities, and the beautiful world around us. That is precisely what Uhmurs strives to do.
