ABOUT
BIO / Jane Erzen, Principal Designer
Jane’s love of art and design has been woven into many layers of her life. Her education and experience includes art studio, museum work, and interiors. She founded the design studio on the belief that your environment can support your nervous system, honor neurodiversity, and offer a daily refuge from an over-stimulating world. People lead multifaceted lives that are busy and traditional environments often work against focus, calm, and emotional regulation. This acknowledgment sparked a deep interest in how light, color, texture, sound, and spatial flow can impact daily life.
As a certified breathwork facilitator she understands how the body responds to stress, stillness, and sensory input in a space. For more balanced interiors her awareness of integrating creative expression and visual storytelling into the design process comes from being a certified art therapy practitioner with a background in social sciences. Since we spend nearly 90 percent of our time indoors, she believes that design is not simply cosmetic but imperative to well-being. Her eye for symmetry and connection makes all of her purpose-driven projects intentionally composed and timeless.
Every project uses interdisciplinary design to reflect intentional choices whether for your home, office, or client-facing business environment. The places we inhabit shape how we think, feel, and function. Rooted in holistic interior design, Jane focuses on creating transformative spaces and places that help clients exhale—at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
