Fall Decor Design
Fall has always felt like a masterclass in balance—warm light meeting crisp air, texture meeting tone. In design, I think of it as the perfect metaphor for harmony: bold yet grounded, layered yet simple. Each pumpkin, wreath, and stem of dried corn was chosen to evoke calm and connection—an experience that feels lived-in and intentional. Much like UX design, it’s about guiding emotion through subtle choices that make a space feel welcoming and whole.
Designing Warmth Indoors
The kitchen island became my canvas for this project—a study in color, rhythm, and sensory storytelling. Deep oranges and muted golds paired with reflective glass pumpkins and natural wood accents created a flow that feels both organic and refined. It’s the same principle I apply in digital design: arranging elements so the eye moves naturally, creating comfort through thoughtful placement and contrast.
Creating a Seasonal Welcome
The porch design was built around the feeling of arrival—how first impressions set the tone for an experience, just like in UX. I layered natural materials like hay, corn stalks, and wood with structured elements such as pumpkins, wreaths, and bold signage to guide the eye toward the entryway. Every piece was placed with purpose, creating a visual rhythm that feels warm and grounded. Like designing a digital interface, it’s about inviting people in—subtly guiding them through a moment that feels both intentional and effortless.

Autumn always reminds me that design thrives in transition. Whether crafting a seasonal space or a digital interface, it’s about shaping how people feel as they move through moments—inviting warmth, inspiring focus, and finding beauty in the change.
