About DesignWell Studios
DesignWell Studios is a wellness-focused interior design and environmental consulting studio founded by Michelle Ifversen, a seasoned designer and certified Integrative Health Practitioner. With over 15 years of experience in building wellness, environmental testing, and human-centered design, we help health-conscious homeowners, builders, and real estate professionals create spaces that support true well-being. From on-site property testing (for VOCs, mold, EMFs, and water quality) to biophilic design, healthy lighting, and non-toxic materials, our services bridge the gap between beauty and health. Whether you're building new, remodeling, or navigating sensitivities in your home, we guide you through diagnosing, detoxing, and designing your space for healing, clarity, and connection. Grounded in building biology and integrative wellness, our mission is simple: to create homes that don’t just look good—but help you feel your best every day.

Manifesto
We believe that home is more than shelter—
it’s the foundation of your health, your peace, and your life.
We believe that beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being.
That clean air, safe materials, and natural light are not luxuries—
they are essentials.
We believe in design that listens.
To your body. Your story. Your needs.
Especially if you’ve been dismissed, sensitive, or overwhelmed by the modern built world.
We believe that nature belongs indoors.
That sunlight, fresh air, wood, and water restore what stress takes away.
That biophilic design is not a trend—it’s a return.
We believe your space should support you—
whether you're a young family building healthy habits,
a person healing from chronic illness,
or simply someone who wants to feel better every day.
We believe in revealing the root cause.
In testing the invisible.
In detoxing what’s harming you—and designing what helps you thrive.
We believe your home can feel supportive and nurturing.
Not sterile. Not clinical.
But alive, beautiful, safe, and yours.
This is wellness design.
This is DesignWell Studios.
