Wellness Philosophy,
A Biophilic Approach
"Biophilia is the innate, genetic affinity human beings have for the natural world." — E.O. Wilson
Most of our modern lives are spent within four walls, yet our bodies are still wired for the wild. My work is rooted in the spirit of Biophilic Design—the practice of weaving the restorative power of nature into the built environment.
I believe a pattern can do more than fill a space and be a decorative backdrop; it scan shift the energy within it. By integrating natural analogues—the imagery, textures, rhythms, and shapes found in the outdoors—we can create interiors that don’t just look beautiful, but actively support the health and happiness of it’s inhabitants.
Why Nature-Forward Design Matters
We’ve always known that nature feels good, and research confirms it. By using ‘biomorphic' elements—elements that mimic the natural world—we can design spaces promote well-being. Nature inspired interiors can be attributed to:
Stress Reduction: Natural geometries can lower heart rate and blood pressure.
Mental Clarity: Organic textures minimize "visual noise," allowing for deeper focus.
Emotional Resilience: Soft, nature-inspired environments aid in emotional regulation and recovery.
The Rhythm of the "Soft Fascination"
In nature, we find a beautiful, organized complexity—the soothing repetition of a fractal or the branching of a tree. These patterns provide 'soft fascination,' a visual rest for our over stimulated brains. My designs lean into these organic forms to counter the hard, rigid lines of our modern world. By giving the eyes a place to rest, we allow the mental noise to quiet, cognitive fatigue to lift, and the nervous system to find its balance.
A Palette of Nature’s Neutrals
I gravitate toward the colors found on a quiet walk in the woods: mossy greens, weathered stones, and sun-drenched ochres. These are low-arousal colors—nature’s neutrals. They don’t demand attention; they provide a steady, peaceful foundation that’s joyful yet prevents a room from feeling overstimulating.
The Human Connection
In a world that is increasingly digital and mass-produced, the artist’s hand is a vital point of connection to our shared humanity.
My designs begin by hand, carrying the subtle imperfections and vitality of analog artwork. This "human touch" adds a layer of warmth and joy to a space, reminding us that we are part of a living, breathing world.
My goal is to serve as a resource for your vision and provide an organic layer through custom or premade designs that will bring your project to life, transforming any space into a sanctuary.
Where nature finds a home.
