About
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a former fashion designer turned full-time rest seeker, living with ME/CFS, POTS,MCAS, and fibromyalgia. I’m also a wife, a mom of two, a daughter, and a sister — family is everything to me. And like so many of you, I’m learning how to care for others while also learning to care for myself.
Designed.To.Rest was born out of that balance — a lifestyle space shaped by chronic illness, but rooted in beauty, comfort, and connection. Here, I share what helps me get through the hard days: simple home ideas, nourishing recipes, cozy fashion finds, supplements I’ve tried, and small changes that make a big difference.
This is a place for those of us who live in between: between fatigue and hope, between the couch and the kitchen, between showing up for our people and learning to show up for ourselves.
Because even in the hardest seasons, there’s still joy to be found in life’s little moments.
