The Interior Design Process That Feels Like a Heart-to-Heart With Your Most Honest Friend

You walk into your home, expecting it to feel good, right?

But instead, there’s this ache—like something’s missing.

Maybe it’s that couch you bought because it was “nice” for company, but it’s stiff, cold, and never once felt like yours. Or that wall of framed pics you copied from Pinterest, all pretty and perfect, but it’s like staring at someone else’s life—another decor trap you fell into… again.

I’ve been in this game ten years, and here’s the truth: when your home doesn’t feel like you, it’s not about the stuff or the walls—it’s your soul whispering it hasn’t landed yet.

No quick buy or next hot trend can fix that.

It’s deeper. It’s us, unraveling it together, real and slow.

The Usual Way Leaves You Empty

You’ve seen how the design world works: pick a style—“Modern Farmhouse” or whatever’s blowing up online—and call it a plan.

Grab a chair here, a lamp there, stuff that looks good in photos but doesn’t fit your coffee spills or your chaos. When it’s done, you’re still pacing around, wondering why it feels like you’re squatting in a stranger’s space.

That’s not design—it’s a transaction.

A stiff, awkward shell that drains you.

I’m not here for that.

I’m here to help you build a home that feels like your favorite beat-up hoodie—soft, lived-in, you.

No rulebook, no gatekeeping—just your life, held right.

That’s where I’m taking you.

My M.I.N.D. Method™: Four Steps to a Home That’s You

This isn’t about new paint or chasing what’s trending—it’s about peeling back what’s weighing you down and building a space that holds your real life. I’m here to break you out of design paralysis and hand you back your gut. I’m here to break you out of design paralysis and hand you back your gut.

It’s the M.I.N.D. Method™—a 12-week process that’s yours, not some industry checklist.

You get me, one-on-one, four deep talks unpacking your stuck spots and stacking your wins. Voxer’s open the whole time—ping me when you’re spinning or sparked. There’s a PDF workbook with exercises, templates, and “aha” reflections to guide you, plus a Notion HQ where you write, uncover, answer, and tie it together.

And a handmade soy candle I pour just for you—because this is us, not a cold to-do list.

Here’s why we do it, why you need it, and how it flows.

PHASE 1: Mindset Detox (Clearing the Noise So You Can Hear Yourself)

Picture me years back—buried in thousand dollars spent that turned into junk I didn’t want, staring at paint chips until I went cross-eyed, paralyzed by “what if I screw this up?”

Sound familiar? You’re drowning in saved ideas and guilt-kept stuff.

We kick off with a 1:1, just us, digging into why your space feels off. One nagging corner or the whole damn place? We talk it out—your scrolls, your wrestles—I’m there, listening hard.

Voxer’s live—“Can I ditch this?” at 2 a.m.—and I’m right back, holding space. The workbook’s your first spill—exercises to name the heavy, templates to sort it, reflections to catch that “oh, that’s why” shift.

Notion HQ logs your “why”—your starting line—and that candle I made warms our call.

Why this matters: You’re choked by “shoulds”—pinned-up lies dimming your instincts.

We clear it so you can breathe, hear yourself again. Your home starts in your head, not your wallet.

PHASE 2: Intentional Space (Making Room for Your Real Life)

I’ve had clients sit across from me, eyes wide, saying, “I don’t know where to start—there’s just so much.”

You might feel that too—your days spilling over, toys and junk drawers and memories everywhere.

Our second 1:1 is where we sift through it—not to tidy up, but to hold it close. We sketch a plan that fits your chaos—those late-night sprawls, your kid’s messes, that lamp you love despite its bold aesthetic.

Voxer’s alive—“Does this table even make sense?”—and I’m there, talking you through it.

The workbook’s your map—templates to pin what stays, exercises to dig into what you love, reflections for that “this is me” glow.

Notion HQ’s where you uncover and write it—thoughts, answers, a messy weave coming together. We sit again, 1:1, moving things so your space flows with your real days—not some hypothetical setup for people that never come over. That candle’s burning, a thread of warmth, because this is about embracing your life, not hiding it.

Why we do this: Your home’s fighting you—pushing against your mess instead of holding it. You need this to stop wrestling and start living, because a space that’s you doesn’t hide your days—it carries them.

PHASE 3: Needs Reset (Letting Go Without Apology)

I’ve seen it—someone clutching a rug they hate, saying, “I spent too much to ditch it.”

Maybe you’ve got that too—stuff you keep out of “should,” not love.

Our third 1:1 is where we face it together—keep that vase your mom gave you because it sparks something, let go of the guilt-buy you’ve never liked.

Voxer’s open—“I’m stuck on this”—and I’ll walk you through, no rush. The workbook’s your gut on paper—exercises to sift what matters, templates to mark your yeses and nos, reflections for that “I don’t need this” lift.

Notion HQ holds it—your scribbles of what’s staying, what’s out—and we build on it. We talk again, 1:1, nailing down what your life needs—what cuts the clutter, what lets you stop feeling sorry. That candle’s steady, a glow I made for you, because this is about living your way, not anyone else’s.

Why we do this: You’re buried under “almost”—things that don’t fit but stick around. You need this to drop the weight, to let your life breathe, because a home that’s you doesn’t carry guilt—it carries you.

PHASE 4: Decide Without Doubt (Trusting What’s Yours)

I’ve been there—holding onto a chair I hated, thinking, “Maybe it’s fine.”

You might be too—regret buys piling up, doubt creeping in.

Our fourth 1:1 is where we let it go. We talk it out—those things dragging you down—and say goodbye, maybe even toast to it in spirit.

Voxer’s there—“This feels big, too big?”—and I’m cheering your gut on.

The workbook’s your final spill—exercises to trust your picks, templates to lock them in, reflections for that “this is mine” rush.

Notion HQ ties it up—write down your wins, answer what’s solid, build your “Trust Map” to keep forever.

Whether it’s a quick Design Mood Gut-Check to break past those 47 paint chips or the full Mindful Home Creator ride to turn your grandma’s cabinet into your trophy case, we wrap it with that last 1:1. I hand you that candle—soy, handmade, yours—because this isn’t just steps [it’s us making your home you. Your bedroom’s not “off” anymore—it’s yours, all the way.]

Why we do this: You’re stuck second-guessing—afraid to trust what you feel. You need this to own it, to know your space is right, because a home that’s you doesn’t waver—it stands.

What You’re Probably Wondering (Because I’ve Been There Too)

“Why trust you when I’ve got Pinterest and a glue gun?” Fair.

You’ve spent years DIY-ing, scrolling, second-guessing every lamp and rug. Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ll figure it out—I always have.”

But let’s be real: that cycle’s a soul-crusher, and it’s not your fault. The design world’s rigged to keep you doubting—handing you trends and pretty rooms that don’t fit your life.

I’m not that designer.

I’m not here to do it all for you, put it together like a showroom or chase likes—I’m here to break you out of that paralysis and hand you back your instincts.

I ditched the transactional BS because it doesn’t work for real people like us. And to be honest…it was stressing me out, so I can just imagine how it feels for you.

My M.I.N.D. Method™ isn’t me dictating your style—it’s us stripping the noise so you shine through.

No more “safe” buys you hate in six months.

No more texting your bestie for a thumbs-up.

Just a home that’s a hell yes—messy Mondays and all. S

till think DIY’s the move? It’s not about skill—it’s sanity.

You’ve burned enough time on maybe. Let’s make it real together.

Why This Feels Right (And Works)

I’m not here to sell you trends or fancy fixes—I’m here to talk about your life, your messes, your corners that deserve to be yours. T

hat painting you snagged at a yard sale? It’s staying.

That rug the dog tore up? We’ll find one that fits your days.

People I’ve walked with—92% of them—hit this moment where it all makes sense, where they see why their space felt wrong. The rest are still sorting their pillows, but they’re closer than ever. You’ll save money—no more $14k piles of stuff you hate—and time, no more staring at walls feeling lost.

Your home stops being a stranger and starts being you.

Your Burning Questions (Asked While Wine Was Involved)

You might be wondering, “What if I pick something and it’s not right?”

There’s no “not right”—just “not you yet.” We keep going until it feels good, no stress.

Or maybe, “My partner and I never agree on anything…”

I’ve got a knack for hearing both of you—“it’s got to work” and “it’s got to feel”—and finding the spot where you both land happy.

“I don’t know anything about design…”

You don’t need to—someone I worked with thought “rustic” was a type of bread—their home’s theirs now, no fancy talk needed.

“Too much money?”

Look at it this way—$15k on regrets versus $6,500 to feel at home.

Your peace knows the math.

“No time?”

We do this in 20-minute pieces—it fits your life, not the other way around.

Staying Stuck Hurts More Than You Think

Here’s the real talk: people lose $14,700 on stuff they don’t even like before they find me—cash gone on things that never felt right. You’ve spent 11 hours this month staring at that wall, waiting for it to fix itself. That corner you keep saying “I’ll get to later”? Three years of dust says it’s not moving. Your time, your money, your calm—they’re worth more than that.

Let’s stop letting them slip away.
