What is your workspace like?

Hopefully nothing like this DMV. I can tell you I have worked for architecture firms that were drab and depressing and I have worked for firms that had a vibrant energy. Each influenced my mind, body and emotions day to day.

The way your workspace is set up and designed can affect your mood and alertness. Only experiencing artificial lights are the worst. You need natural light to help regulate your circadian clocks so you can get some good zzz’s at night. @poeticmodernism #interiors #mind #body #emotion #gutemotion #lighting

The rewards are for the curious and nature trains you to be curious….

I fell in love with these enormous agave plants and the study of contrast in its form and texture at the @cornerstone sunset gardens in Napa, California. There was something about movement that generated calm and creative thinking. Experiences of nature can impact your mind (psychologically), your body (physiologically) and your emotions. Here at Michele Alfano Design, we study your gut responses in those experiences and implement them into design. @poeticmodernism #mind #body #emotion #gutemotion #plants #design #designhounds

Do you bandaid your spaces?

It's holiday time and you feel like changing it up....Does this sound familiar -- Oh, there are great deals. I have been eyeing that coffee table and those chairs and I'm going to get them now. You may feel great satisfaction for a couple of weeks.. but putting a bandaid on your space isn't going to make a space sing or inspire. A creative vision for an entire space is important, your mental state and how you are feeling is really affected by all the elements and their relationship to each other. When the sequential experience is done right, the poetics of space taps into your feeling centered and is transformative on a day to day basis. poeticmodernism® #michelealfanodesign
