Editorial
As a design editor, I have dedicated my writing to exploring the profound connection between our living environments and our wellbeing. My focus is on creating healthy homes that not only look aesthetically pleasing but also significantly enhance mental and physical health.
In my work, I delve into how homes can influence our feelings, support healthier lifestyles, and contribute to our mental health. I discuss critical topics such as the impact of light, surrounding ourselves with nature, air and water quality, and the importance of using natural and healthy materials in our living spaces. My articles also cover the intersections of sustainability and craftsmanship, emphasizing how thoughtful design can foster a sustainable and enriching lifestyle.
