About Moi
Helllloooooooo!
My name is Mrs. B and I'm the designer behind this work. Here's a little snippet about my journey as a designer and how this brand came to be:
I've spent 12 years working in interior design, creating more than a thousand spaces (yes, over a thooooouuussaaannnd) across the entire spectrum of styles, from japandi to maximalist, and literally everything in between.
I began my career after graduating from the New York Design Institute, working in design retail before moving into a fast-paced California-based tech startup that was ahead of its time in 3D rendering and digital design. I started as a contracted designer and one of the first 20 people hired in the entire company so it quickly grew into a full-time role, designing spaces for influencers and publications like Good Housekeeping, House Beautiful, the San Francisco Chronicle, and a long list of bloggers and creators (including Hunker!).🥹😭♥️ I had to wear many different hats along the way and learned everything I could from the CEO about how to start and grow a business.
From there, I stepped into a design manager role, where I helped shape design standards, develop training systems, and coach over 60 designers (and over 120 remote designers during peak seasons!) at all stages of their careers. Over time, I've guided hundreds of designers in refining their work and finding their own creative voice.
What became clear through all of this is that design isn't just about how a space looks. It's about how it feels to live in it.
As a manager, designers would often confide in me about what they were going through in their personal lives. You could see it show up in their work. When someone felt overwhelmed, disorganized, or mentally stretched thin, their designs reflected it. Their passion would dip, their clarity would fade, and the work would start to feel heavy instead of creative.
At the same time, we were constantly designing for clients whose lives were just as layered. Clients dealing with anxiety, OCD, overstimulation, or simply the stress of everyday life. Some needed minimal spaces with very little visual noise. Others, especially those who grew up with very little, wanted their belongings visible, organized, and celebrated. Some needed systems to protect meaningful collections from busy households, while still being able to enjoy them. Others were creating spaces for children with specific needs, like autism, while also trying to carve out a place for themselves to decompress.
All of it mattered. Every detail, every decision, every layout.
That's what led me to study psychology more deeply, and eventually neuroscience, so I could better understand how environments impact the nervous system, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. It wasn't just about becoming a better designer. It was about becoming someone who could support both the client and the designers I was working with in a more meaningful way.
My love for creating layouts and exploring new ways to organize started when I was reeaaally young. I grew up sharing a small bedroom with my sister in a tiny apartment my mom rented. All of us living in close quarters without much space to call our own was not easy. To stay organized or find even a little bit of privacy, I found myself constantly sketching layouts and rearranging what we had to make things work better.
We didn't have the ability to buy new pieces, so I learned to work with what was already there, hand-me-down furniture, limited materials, and small spaces that needed to do more than one thing. That experience shaped the way I think about design in a lasting way. It taught me how to see potential, how to use space intentionally, and how important it is for a space to feel supportive, no matter its size or starting point.
At its core, this work is about creating spaces that allow you to breathe a little easier, think more clearly, and feel more at home in your own life.
Because design isn't just about mood boards or perfectly styled rooms. It's about humans understanding humans, and creating spaces that truly support the way we live.
