Design and Architecture are my absolute passions and have been since my teenage years. My road to DESIGN has taken a few twists and turns while wearing several career hats over the years, however, I never abandoned my deep love affair with DESIGN. Finally, after completing my Interior Design Education many years ago, Soulier Design Studio was founded.

Besides being a Designer, I am a Certified Life/Executive Coach and a graduate of Parsons School of Design-The New School New York- Healthier Materials and Sustainable Buildings program.

This program explains the relationship between building materials and the human body and how the choices we make as designers can change people’s lives. The first course in the program gives an introduction to human health and the effects of toxins on our bodies, material basics, and what contributes to indoor environment air quality. Course 2 presents toxicity and hazards and the impact of green chemistry on innovation in the chemical industry. Course 3 outlines the paths to designing healthier built environments, from defining health and project goals to finding healthier products. Finally, in Course 4 the discussion surrounds the creation of a framework to facilitate the implementation and execution of healthier products, enabling change-making and changemakers!

I am also currently pursuing my SCIENCE IN DESIGN CERTIFICATION (SIDC).  "Science in Design (Neuroaesthetics - The convergence of Science and Design) teaches interior designers about the positive effects of beauty, nature, and fine design on people’s physical and emotional health. The goal is to help designers use beauty to promote healing, which has been proven by the study of neuroaesthetics and medicine. The mission is to make the design industry see that they can be a source of health and well-being for people." I am seriously committed to distinguishing myself as a leader in human health and wellness in the spaces where we spend our lives. I am an accredited member of DDA (Decorators and Designers Association of Canada) and the Regional Director for DDA Atlantic Canada.

I believe that every room in your home should be an incredibly enjoyable and satisfying experience, but more importantly, your home should support your health and well-being.

Providing Wellness Interior Design for the Past  16 Years

​We Fuse Interior Design with Wellness.......To raise awareness of our escalating global environmental issues and the importance of sustainable living, I resolved to specialize my Design practice in Sustainability, Eco-Friendly/Non-toxic Interior Design, Products, and Wellness Lifestyle. I have successfully married my training skills from my Life Coach and LEED/ECO training with my skills as a designer to help clients create healthy, sustainable, and eco-friendly homes that truly mirror,  their personalities. A home that can be enjoyed, and where our clients can flourish and tap into their true authentic selves.

Often clients ask, "What is your style"? My reply is always the same. "My style is your style. This is your home, not mine and I want to create for you an oasis that reflects the way you want to live in your home."

I find it so interesting walking through clients’ homes and viewing their private collections and treasures. These are the items that are so significant in defining a client's style and making their home feel "UNIQUE" to them and not a replica of something on Instagram or Pinterest. I make sure to incorporate these collections into their design plan."

Clients often hire a designer for that touch of style/polish that they have been unable to achieve on their own......."I call it Glamming up the space!!"

Some final thoughts before you take a deeper peek into our Studio ...... We live in a time of extreme consumerism and a throwaway culture. Our health + lives would truly benefit if we just took the time to "slow down" be more mindful, and conscious, live more sustainably, and respect our earth's precious natural resources.

My vision is to create a complete "WELLNESS LIFESTYLE" for my clients and new friends who visit our Studio.  A one-stop destination for sustainable design along with a carefully curated shop of environment-friendly, non-toxic products for all your self-care rituals, as well as beautiful furniture, linens, accessories, and decor items for your home that will nourish and support your health. Products that we can be very proud of and will aid us on our journey toward holistic living.

We only partner with suppliers that share our same mantra and commitment to change for the better!

Our Shop is scheduled to launch in the Spring of 2024.

So...enjoy, have a fabulous day, and thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me.

Warmest Regards,

Deborah
