Intentional Design isn't just about aesthetics; it's a transformative approach that I coined to infuse purpose into every corner of your world. Serving as a catalyst for lifestyle design, I've developed an approach where we curate environments aligned with your aspirations. From nurturing creativity through vibrant aesthetics to promoting focus with mindful details, Intentional Design turns spaces into meaningful extensions of your journey.

​Our process is a symphony of balance, crafting havens that reflect your story– a gentle yet potent method harmonizing masculine and feminine energies. Join me in this design adventure, where each choice is deliberate, and your spaces become a canvas for purposeful living and conducting business.

​Ready to infuse your spaces with intention?

​Hi, I'm Ivette and  I specialize in inspiring people like you design a life (or business) so fulfilling that the concept of a vacation becomes obsolete. Together, we will create your own personal haven, both in metaphorical and tangible ways, allowing you to thrive in every aspect of your life. I take you from FOMO to JOMO, so you can wake up every morning and shout YOLO! (Translation: I help you stop and smell the roses, so you can become the curator of your own life and make room for the things that truly light your soul on fire). I'll guide you through the process, peeling back the layers and helping you discover what truly aligns with your authentic self ​and create a space that fuels every facet of your life or business.

Leveraging a formal education in environmental geography, the power of neuroaesthetics (interior design and fine art), and certifications in Reiki & mindfulness, along with an informal exploration of the subconscious mind spanning two decades, I stand as your multi-faceted partner in transformation.

​Leigh G., Missoula, MT
Project: Color scheme, design consultation and styling for an upstairs remodel & gallery wall design.

When my husband and I decided to remodel the upstairs of our split-level home (the living room and kitchen), we were a bit clueless on what colors to choose. We knew what color cabinets we liked, but didn't know how to go about choosing floor, counter, backsplash or paint colors. There are so many choices and it was very overwhelming. I felt paralyzed with the amount of choices.

Ivette narrowed it down to a few sets of options based on our preferences, since appliances and counters were already bought. As the updating progressed, we decided to ask Ivette to also help us choose a rug and for other decorating suggestions for the living room. She also offered to help us hang our art to create a gallery wall.

Once we started painting and adding items to our home, it felt like all her work and input were well worth it, and watching Ivette line out our art for the living room was fascinating. I love her artistic eye and I love how our house came together. It's such a classy reflection of our taste and I am so glad we hired her. Our house would have not turned out as well as it did if we didn’t work with her.

​I would definitely recommend Ivette's services to anyone looking to update their home. I love that she incorporated our lifestyle, dogs, and current artwork to help us create our perfect upstairs space."

Nicole C., Missoula, MT
Project: Million dollar Zhuzh Design Consultation.

"Ivette is amazing. Her artistic background gives her a unique edge in providing design recommendations. She provided me with some simple recommendations that elevated the style in my home significantly. You NEED to work with her if you want design help! She will take your home to another level!"

Ranya A., Stevensville, MT
Project: Yoga Studio Design Consultation & Styling session.

"Ivette is a delight to work with! From the moment she stepped into my yoga studio that desperately needed her careful eye and guidance, I felt like I was in very good hands. Her artistic vision and quick decision making moved the design process along swiftly. Not only would I recommend her for your design needs, but you may very well end up making a new friend too."
