Identity Centered Design Consulting
A space unique to you, a space that works for you.
Why Your Home Environment Matters
Every day, you respond to environmental cues—whether you’re aware of it or not. From the lighting in your workspace to the arrangement of furniture in your living room, your surroundings are constantly influencing your mood, focus, and overall well-being.
These cues are deeply wired into our biology. They signal whether we should feel safe, alert, relaxed, or inspired. They guide us, telling us when to linger, when to withdraw, and how to function within a space.
But most homes are designed without considering these psychological responses, leading to spaces that may look beautiful but don’t actually support the way we live, think, and feel.
That’s where Identity-Centered Design (ICD) comes in.
Rather than focusing solely on aesthetics, ICD helps you shape an environment that truly works for you—one that enhances your well-being, aligns with your personal story, and supports the way you want to live and grow.
Designing for you, not just Trends
So often, we let trends, curated images, and ready-made styles dictate how we shape our spaces. While gathering inspiration can be valuable, it often leads to designs that feel inherited rather than intentional.
Identity-Centered Design shifts the focus back to you.
This Approach Helps You:
✔ Understand which environmental cues help you feel grounded, focused, and inspired.
✔ Move beyond trends to create a home that feels personal and deeply connected to your identity.
✔ Develop a space that aligns with your values, enhances your daily life, and reflects your true style.
Rather than designing for you, I guide you in discovering the patterns, elements, and layouts that best support you—so your space isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, but a resource for growth, comfort, and creativity.
What you receive
