Interior Design
Design that supports how people live and for how life actually feels
Interior design is the foundation of THRVE.
It is about how space supports the body, the nervous system, and daily life — especially during periods of change, caregiving, aging, or reduced capacity.
This work focuses on creating environments that feel calmer, steadier, and more supportive, without requiring major renovation, lifestyle overhaul, or a particular kind of home.
The approach is grounded in biophilic and regenerative design, nervous-system awareness, and lived experience.

Design that supports how people actually live
Interior design is the foundation of THRVE.
This work focuses on creating homes that feel supportive rather than performative — spaces that respond to changing energy, health, caregiving roles, and stages of life. The emphasis is on livability, wellbeing, and longevity, not trends or surface aesthetics.
Design guidance may include space planning, material selection, accessibility-informed decisions, and biophilic strategies that support calm, regulation, and ease over time.
The broader THRVE practice — writing, Resets, community initiatives, and education — grew directly out of decades of residential design experience and the recurring questions clients raised about aging, care, sustainability, and belonging.
This work scales thoughtfully, remaining grounded in real homes and lived experience.
How We Approach Design
Our design philosophy is grounded in three simple principles:
Safety before change
Before anything is adjusted, we look at what helps the body feel settled and supported.Small shifts over full overhauls
Meaningful change often comes from subtle adjustments rather than big interventions.Design as relationship
We view space as something that responds to the people living in it — not something to perfect or perform.
This approach allows design to be practical, accessible, and responsive to real life.
How this work is offered
Interior design support is provided selectively and with care, based on context, capacity, and fit.
Projects may include:
Gentle spatial re-orientation rather than full redesign
Supportive material, light, and layout decisions
Design guidance for aging-in-place and long-term livability
Integration with broader wellbeing and life-stage needs
This is collaborative work — not prescriptive or fast-paced.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Design support at THRVE may include:
wellness-informed consultations
guidance on light, comfort, layout, and sensory balance
biophilic and nature-connected strategies that don’t depend on ownership or renovation
support for renters, shared spaces, and homes in transition
The goal is not to impose a vision, but to help people understand what their space is communicating — and how to respond with care.

feel overstimulated, fatigued, or unsettled by their space
are navigating caregiving, grief, or life transitions
want support without pressure to redesign or spend more
live in rentals, apartments, or shared environments
