How It Works

Creating Nurturing Spaces for Women in Transition

An older woman sits on a green couch, smiling while talking on a smartphone and using a laptop computer, enjoying stylish interior design for women Portland is known for.

Life transitions — divorce, empty nest, career changes, or rediscovering your purpose — are powerful opportunities to redefine who you are and the life you’re creating. Your home and your inner world are deeply connected: when one shifts, the other follows.

I help women in midlife align both — through interior design and intuitive guidance — so that your spaces reflect and support the woman you are becoming.

What to Expect

  • We begin with a deep clarity session to explore who you are now, and who you’re becoming.
  • Together, we identify the spaces in your home (and life) that feel stuck or outdated.
  • I guide you in creating environments — both physical and emotional — that align with your future vision.

“Five Stars + Two Thumbs Up for Paula!! She is amazing and I highly recommend!

I had recently moved into a new home, and while it was perfectly nice, I felt like I was living in someone else’s space. After working with Paula, in an amazingly short amount of time, my home became a place that truly reflects me—and somewhere I genuinely love spending time.

I originally hired Paula to help with a whole house color scheme, but it became so much more than that. She really listened to me—my vision, what mattered to me, how I wanted my home (including my office) to feel—and guided me in a way that made everything come together so naturally.

Paula has an incredible sense for color and how everything works together, and she helped me feel confident in the decisions we made. I also appreciated how she let me take the lead where it mattered most, without any pressure or “this is how it should be” thinking.

On top of that, Paula brought so many helpful resources and connections, which made the entire process feel easy and supported.

Working with her was a snap—clear, timely communication, professional, and reliable. She made what could have felt overwhelming feel simple and even enjoyable.

Next time I need design help, I’ll absolutely hire Paula again.”
