DeChelle A. Harris

Detail-oriented. Inspired. Problem-solver. Interior designer. A creative being. I enjoy all things art, interior design, and fashion. I’m good at quite a few things but I’m best at transforming spaces. I’ve studied and worked in interior design for over 17 years. It’s allowed me to change and improve people’s lives and I’ve witnessed firsthand how design affects how people show up in the world and how it can cause a shift in thought and action when executed properly. I’m passionate about design and the role it plays in our lives and I think if more people found (and followed!) their purpose, the world would be a better place.

Outside of designing interiors, I believe the golden rule, meditation, and exercise are the keys to a healthy life and indulging yourself a bit, forgiving yourself for your mistakes, and at least seven hours of sleep are the keys to a good life.

This conversation touched on leadership, self-care, civic responsibility, sports, and more! I hope you all enjoy the convo!
