We’ll explore how American cultural and economic narratives have shaped the way we design our homes and how treating shelter primarily as a financial asset can quietly disconnect us from our spaces. Using design psychology, we’ll unpack how fear-based, resale-driven decisions impact comfort, identity, and emotional well-being, and how to balance financial responsibility with creating a home that truly supports your life: places of safety, memory-making, and rest.
This dialogue is about designing with intention, honoring both value and humanity. Home owners, those considering ownership, and even renters who are hesitant to paint walls will find this session intriguing.
