We all come up against them – negative emotions, connotations, reactions and more. But what do they really mean if we break them all down?

In this episode we journey through breaking down where our feelings and thoughts stem from in addition to thinking about them in fresh new ways.

Uplevel Redesign was created with the vision to make interior design affordable, sustainable, and more accessible to anyone that is craving an upleveled look in their homes. Creating a new vision and transforming your space does not have to mean tearing down walls or spending your entire savings. What makes redesign more accessible is the concept of using what you already have! In our collaborative design process, we walk through what is working and what isn’t. When you need new items, I am intentional about what we add in order to bring a complete design together, working with your timeline and the amount you want to invest in your project. I like to shop secondhand and vintage to support our community and reduce waste, as well as shop local to support small businesses.
