I spent 10 years in clinical work before I ever designed a room. Then I designed an ADU at the Canyon Residence in Los Angeles. It was a small space, but it was private and it was theirs. And once it was done they felt so relaxed and calm. They felt safe. It was the same feeling I spent years helping people find in therapy. Only this time the room was doing the work. That's when it really clicked for me. I've worked in construction and interior design for 14 years, and in 2021 I started Design Shrink Studios to bring those 2 worlds together. In 2025 I earned my Design Psychology Certification. Today I design homes, short-term rentals, and spaces for therapists and small businesses. And every one starts with the same question. How do you want to feel when you walk in? It's not always clear at first. That's the part we figure out together.

I design around how you want to feel in your room, and not only how it looks.

Before design I spent 10 years in clinical work, so I listen for what's really going on. The living room nobody sits in. The bedroom that never feels restful. The corner where everything piles up.

You see your new design in a photo of your own room, so you can picture it before you buy anything.

I pull from any store that fits your budget and your style.

And I'll tell you honestly what will work in your space and what won't.
