The Studio

A home should reduce stress, support independence, and adapt to the people living in it.

A woman with curly hair wearing a peach blazer and pants stands with her arms crossed inside a modern office lobby, with a large window showing a palm tree outside. There is a dark blue chair, a white side table with books, and a standing mirror in the interior.

Independence by Design was created from the belief that people should not have to sacrifice beauty in order to live safely, comfortably, and independently in their homes.

We specialize in thoughtful, wellness oriented interior design for clients aging in place, individuals recovering from surgery, people living with disabilities, and families with children who have special needs.

Our approach blends elevated design with functional living creating spaces that support mobility, comfort, and accessibility, while still feeling warm, refined, and deeply personal.
