CC Hart (also known as Carolyn Hart) is a San Francisco–based interdisciplinary artist, author, and researcher whose work explores synesthesia, perception, and neurodivergence. She is a neurodiversity advocate, public speaker, conference organizer, and an IASAS board executive.
CC Hart is also a published poet and essayist. She created a podcast called Weird Sister (currently on hiatus) and is writing a memoir about mirror touch and the messiness of empathy. She is unafraid to speak about neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric differences such as ADHD, Tourette Syndrome, and synaesthesia, a trait that confers blended senses.
She also maintains a long-standing clinical practice in manual therapy, drawing on nearly three decades of experience in hands-on healing. This work informs her understanding of embodiment, perception, and the lived experience of the body.
She is also a visual artist and costume designer, and is drawn to wearable forms that support sensory processing. She is a word nerd and a sentimental dork, and believes that dogs are often wiser and kinder than people. Her motto is: “brains are strange and they aren’t all the same.”

You were all this in High School- never thought of you as abnormal. You’ve always been super sweet, driven, beautiful, taking a road less traveled. In reading your bio – you also appear very happy. Your as beautiful & eccentric as ever CC Hart…
I think the best part of my high school years were all of the Northwood Drive kids, including you and your siblings. It’s been a tough road in some ways, and I think I put much effort into masking my struggles, but we all know how it goes; hiding from the truth always catch up with us. I’m so happy social media has helped us reconnect, Deborah Starr, and I am excited to see where you will find your new home!
