You walk in. Something is different. Everyone feels it.
From self expression to gene expression, our interior spaces go well beyond the visual appeal - they’re potentially our most controllable solution to less stress, personal belonging and elevated health for generations to come.
Quantified Designs: Science-Informed, Surprisingly Simple
A little can go a long way when it comes to our interior spaces and BLLIS exists to explore the shortest path to a feel-good space, quantifiably.
Science is studying and validating what so many of us experience yet haven’t been able to articulate when we walk into a room.
Less visual clutter = less stress
A water feature = more calm & connection
Natural light = natural energy
“I felt a shift in my sessions right away, and so did my clients. When they walked into the space, they reported feeling more grounded, settled, and ready to dive into their work.”
- Kathleen K., Psychotherapist, Ontario, Canada, after implementing a series of design recommendations catered to her therapy space — both in-person and virtually.

Client Stories x Client Impact
Kathleen | Ontario, Canada | Psychotherapy Practice
“I feel different. And maybe at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing actually, because in therapy my nervous system regulates their nervous system. I feel very energetically calm in the space. I like it better. I like spending time there now.”

What Shifted:
Therapeutic conversations went deeper, faster
Practice enrollment increased by 30% within weeks following space changes
Preference for in-person sessions increased by 20% (from 50% to 60% in-person versus online)
Ana | Lisbon, Portugal | Family Home
“I needed a change but felt stuck and unable to change the flow of the room. Did not know where to begin, felt overwhelmed, and lacked the energy for the task.
Lyndsay helped us realize what was wrong, introduced new concepts, and showed us the importance of bringing nature inside, the power of light, and the tiny details that have a huge impact on our daily lives. It took a while to absorb the concept, but then it all made sense, the flow started, and the changes were finally happening. The room now feels better organized, we all got our own private spaces within the same room (even the cats!)”
What Opened:
Space utilization increased ~50%
“The main concepts have been learned and will be used in the future”
Overwhelm transformed into possibility… Ana even got a promotion a year later (after wanting to take time off work due to pre-transformation stress levels)
Abby | Ohio, United States | Home Sanctuary
“I remember starting this project with you, initially feeling a sense of defeat in this tiny, one-bedroom apartment of mine. I was not aware that the clutter in my space was wafting an air of stress. I told myself the clutter was "functional," when it actually made me dread entering the kitchen where I need to work the most. I dreaded the dining room too, which is where I wanted to work on multiple creative projects but just couldn't bring myself to spend time in the room. The reality is, it was a dysfunctional space. I was resigned to the idea that this is the nature of small apartments: Essence of claustrophobia. You showed me I was wrong.”
What Emerged:
“I have started working on creative projects again”
“I have a greater sense of calm”
Abby(“When I got rid of that big credenza, I felt like I was pushing it off my chest”)

About Me
At the heart of BLLIS is the conviction that spaces can profoundly change people. I’ve seen it. I’ve experienced it. And I’ve created BLLIS to explore it.
I had an “aha” moment eight years ago.
I was collaborating on designing spaces that brought out the best in everyone else only to realize that my own home no longer brought out the best in me. What I did next was entirely unconventional.
