Zen Living by design

A Brief History

Zen Living by design has always been a part of me, even since I was a young child. I believe in the simple concepts of saving, re-designing, re-purposing and the beautiful Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi. Accepting imperfections and making the most of them instead of discarding, is an understated elegance that identifies that less is more. Intentional living is a simple family lifestyle that nurtures the past while embracing the present. The history of a beautiful and purposeful object is brought to life with restoration or simply revealing it in a new light. Biophilic design, working with natural design elements such as wood, water and vegetation is the essence of our interior homes, garden designs and unique products.

We work with individuals, companies and organizations that partner with us for custom design and that reflect our philosophy of simplified, intentional living.

Our Zen Living by design studio and shop is available by appointment. I look forward to working with you on your next design or product project. Whether it is a particular piece or an entire Zen Living by design line, I am here.

Love & Light… M
