Today we’d like to introduce you to Martha Moore.
Hi Martha, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After working many years in healthcare, I started my design firm out of my very own experience with burnout. I was feeling overwhelmed working the long hours at the hospital, stressed trying to balance it all, and worried because I never felt like I had enough hours in the day to take care of myself. So, I sought the comfort of a sanctuary like the one my mom created caring for my special needs sister growing up. Her physical brain was affected by a chemical in our environment 3 days after my parents brought her home from the hospital. Caring for her helped me realize just how important the built environment is to our health and mental wellbeing. Wellbeing interior design is designing a space for the well-being of human beings. Since we begin and end our day in our space, I took a step back, reevaluated it and my life changed forever. I’m a double board-certified scientist with a passion for the arts. I intentionally redesigned my space with thought and care by adding plants, rearranging my furniture, intentionally using color, and incorporating tools that we used every day in the laboratory to be efficient. That is when I experienced the importance of interior design. I am passionate about helping busy professionals design beautiful nurturing spaces that reduce stress and support mental wellbeing. I believe good interior design heals.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No.
Creating Awareness of a “Scientific Designer”
Helping prospective clients know that I exist because most designers design for aesthetics, but I design for aesthetics and functionality from a scientific perspective.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Scientifically Designed is all about bringing tranquility to busy professionals spaces through science-backed interior design solutions. I design beautiful, nurturing spaces for our clients that allow them to feel relaxed, restored, and inspired. I focus on the principles of well-being and salutogenic – which means looking at health from a preventative perspective – when aspiring to live our lives to the fullest potential by aligning the mind, body, and spirit.
I offer 4 Science-Backed Design Solutions that are scientifically proven to reduce stress and enhance their quality of life in their built environments.
Wellbeing Designs: What is wellbeing? A state of balance or alignment in body, mind, and spirit.
In this state, we feel content; connected to purpose, people, and community; peaceful and energized; resilient and safe. – I use well-being design to design spaces for the well-being of human beings. – 5 Pillars: Human-Centered Design | Trauma-Informed Design | Universal Design | Biophilic Design | Evidence-Based Design
Ergonomics: Ergonomics is the study of people’s efficiency in their working environment. – I use ergonomics to improve mood, increase productivity and efficiency, and minimize the risk of neck, back, wrist, and eye injuries.
Lean Six Sigma Tools: Lean 6 Sigma is a management system tool that allows people to look at processes differently. – I use lean to increase productivity and efficiency; helps you be mindful of placement, range of motion, and organization in your space. (#worksmarternotharder)
Color Psychology: Color Psychology is the study of how color determines emotions and behaviors in space. – I use color to elevate mood and create an intentional atmosphere.
My vision is to be a sought-after respectable brand with a reputation where people will seek me out to help create beautiful nurturing spaces that promotes healing and functionality.
Scientifically Designed offers online interior design (eDesign) and local design services based on clients’ needs.
What were you like growing up?
I was a bookworm. I Got Locked Up in a public library when I was in the 5th grade. I would walk home after school and stop by the library daily to read National Geographic magazines because the younger me so wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. One night after closing, the librarian found me reading deep in the corner and scared the bejesus out of me…LOL! I’m sure I scared her too! I still live for the adventure of curling up with a great book in a corner.
