Life by Design is a guide to overcoming anxiety and living your best life using interior design principles. With her real-life experience and down-to-earth approach, Interior Designer and Life Coach Emma Quinn shares the story of how she struggled with
anxiety, insomnia, and birth trauma after her daughter was born.
As a Designer, Emma explains how she works with clients to enhance the form, function, and flow of their homes. Her design work involves space planning and balancing colour, texture, furniture, and lighting to create beautiful spaces that her clients have grown to love. Interior Design is a true passion for Emma and she describes her personal style as ‘Classic Contemporary.’ She loves challenges that help her to create outside her comfort zone.
A few years ago, she created her Design Manifesto. Emma explains: “It is basically a list of twelve principles which help inform and guide me through my work as a designer.”
To the outside world, everything was great for Emma. She had the perfect family, the perfect career. She was building her ideal family house so surely, she had the perfect life?
Except she didn’t; far from it.
Emma: “I was suffering in silence with severe anxiety and insomnia. I felt like I was on edge all the time, like I couldn’t relax or something bad might happen. I was having constant flashbacks about my daughter’s traumatic birth, and could not shake the feelings of guilt, and of being utterly helpless and out of control.
“I continued to struggle for eight months before reaching the point where I just couldn’t take it anymore.”
From there Emma seeks to turn life around. She explains in this uplifting book how she applied principles from her work as an Interior Designer to her everyday life to help her overcome these issues and how you can do the same. This beautifully illustrated book will make you laugh, inspire you, and motivate you to overcome any challenges that have been holding you back from living your best life. Get ready to design and live the life you truly deserve.
