Our story · A note from the founder
The words I taped to my wall became a brand.
Living Redesigned began in a season when I needed to believe my life could still change.
The beginning
Before there was a business
Several years ago, I was unemployed, carrying major debt, and struggling with depression. I couldn’t see a clear route from the life I had to the one I hoped for. I knew I wanted more, but wanting more and knowing what to do next are not the same thing.
I started looking for a way to change direction. I read books, watched motivational talks, prayed, and meditated. Most of all, I began letting myself imagine the life I truly wanted instead of dismissing it as unrealistic.
That process took about two years. It wasn’t one sudden breakthrough. I kept returning to the question, even when things felt slow. Over time, I paid off my debt and began to trust myself enough to pursue what I wanted. I learned that direction can arrive before certainty. Sometimes you take the next step while you still have doubts.
“I knew there had to be more to life. I needed a way to keep believing it.”
The first idea
The words I stopped hiding
On hard days, I covered my home in encouraging words. I would print a phrase, sometimes something as simple as “Get Happy,” and tape it where I would see it. Those reminders helped me return to what I was trying to believe.
But they were ordinary sheets of paper. If someone was coming over, I would hurry around taking them down. I wanted to keep the encouragement without feeling I had to hide it. I wanted reminders that felt beautiful enough to belong in my home, and meaningful enough to matter on a difficult day.
That became the first spark of Living Redesigned: art and everyday pieces that could keep the right words close and let inspiration feel at home.
The idea grew
From the wall to the wardrobe
At first, I pictured art and everyday pieces that could make personal goals and affirmations feel at home. I wanted the words to be something I was proud to display, as well as something that could help me through a difficult moment.
Over time, that point of view grew into a wider creative world. Today, apparel is its clearest expression. A tee she reaches for on an ordinary Tuesday or a sweatshirt she wears on a quiet morning can carry a thought she wants to keep close.
What the name means to me
A life can be redesigned one choice at a time.
Redesigning your life doesn’t mean erasing who you were or getting every detail right. It means allowing yourself to look again. What supports me? What do I need more of? What can I leave behind?
The things around us can’t solve everything. But a reminder, a habit, or a small choice can help us remember the direction we want to go. Becoming isn’t a straight line. Some seasons ask for faith, others for discipline, healing, rest, or a change of scenery.
Who we are now
Thoughtful pieces for the life you’re building.
Living Redesigned is a lifestyle brand with fashion at its center, for women building lives they enjoy. We bring thoughtful words into pieces she can wear and things she keeps close. We believe beauty and meaning can share space, ambition and faith needn’t compete, and rest belongs in a life in motion.
We make pieces with the hope that what surrounds you feels like it belongs to the woman you are now and the one you are becoming.

A note from me to you
You don’t need the whole map yet.
If you’re in a season you didn’t plan for, or working toward something you’ve wanted for a long time, I hope Living Redesigned offers a reminder that you can begin again, at your own pace, in a way that feels like yours.
