"Happiness is an angel with a serious face."
~Amadeo Modigliani
Welcome!
Wellbeing - Being Well - is serious and foundational. Happiness and feeling good go hand-in-hand.
I truly believe that architecture, design, art and color have amazing power at the energetic level to positively impact our moods and enhance our sense of well-being.
Imagine telling better visual stories that enhance the space and elevate the guest/visitor experience on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
My mission is to educate, inspire, and create more happiness and well-being around the globe! I believe that information - in its various forms of enlightenment - creates awareness and empowerment, which leads to positive transformation and evolution.
Celebrate the powerful emotional impact of design and fine art.
Provide positive intellectual symbolic influence.
Offer energetic and colorful vibrations to uplift the human spirit.
I look forward to working with you.

Bio
Patricia Wilson joined a small Pittsburgh design studio at the age of 19 and fell in love with interior design when she was asked to poché a drawing. Fueled by her passion for meaningful and purposeful design, her three-plus decades of experience focus on the joy of Hospitality. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to found her small studio in 2000, which led to many happy consulting opportunities. Today, her broader perspective includes not only interior design but also textile and surface pattern design.

Patricia creates awareness by writing about the value of great design and the importance color in our daily lives for the local and global reach.
