Your home should work as hard as you do.
Without costing you everything else.
Is your space supporting your life – or quietly draining it?
You built the business. You do the work. But somewhere between the kitchen table, the Zoom calls, and the laptop that never fully closes – your home stopped feeling like a sanctuary and started feeling like a second office you can never leave.
It’s not a productivity problem. It’s a design problem.
And design problems have design solutions.
Work + Life by Design
I’m Nicolene Mausenbaum – interior designer with 26 years of experience, founder of Dezyna Interiors, and creator of Work + Life by Design.
I teach entrepreneurs how the design of their home directly affects the way they work, rest, and live. Not surface-level styling. Not productivity hacks. Practical, evidence-based design thinking that protects your energy, your boundaries, and your actual life.
Whether you’re working from a dedicated studio or a corner of your bedroom, the way your space is designed is either helping you build the business you want – or quietly getting in the way.
