🌿 What if reconnecting with nature begins with something as simple as a wooden cutting board?

Our relationship with nature is ancient. Biophilia describes our innate tendency to connect with the natural world—and that connection doesn’t have to end when we walk indoors.
Natural materials, organic forms, plants, and daylight can bring elements of nature into our everyday environments.

As a designer, I believe these choices are more than aesthetic. They’re opportunities to create spaces that support our well-being and remind us that we’re part of nature, not separate from it.

This is the heart of Design Is Medicine™: designing environments with science and soul.
✨ Look around your home. What’s one natural element that makes you feel more connected to the world outside? Let me know!

💕Your Design Goddess,
Mahwish🐍

✨ Seeing so many new faces here, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself!

I’m Mahwish Syed—award-winning fashion and interior designer, bestselling author, breast cancer survivor, and creator of Design Is Medicine™.

My mission? To explore how our environments influence our biology, well-being, and healing—and why beauty is a biological need, not a luxury.
I’m also learning ballet as an adult 🩰 and preparing for my upcoming TEDx talk!

Here, we explore design, science, and the power of beauty to transform how we live and feel.

So glad you’re here! ❤️ Tell me what brought you to my page.

💕Your Design Goddess,

The print version of the New York Post article written so beautifully by Marissa Matozzo Marissa Matozzo of the wonderful brainchild of Donna Korren called Donna Korren/ Inspiring Women 40+ to create a bold next chapter came out today!

I am so glad Donna decided to bring us all together. There is power in a decision. And there is grace in every step you take along the way. And her steps led to us finding each other!

So grateful to be a part of such a lovely community of women who are actively redefining what their next chapter means in their lives!

If you are on the fence about joining Donna’s group, I am here to tell you that you will find yourself amongst inspiring, warm, and generous women.

Looking forward to more connection & adventures together!✨❤️

Closing Nasdaq with & Onco-Ballet Foundation was such an honor to an already momentous day.

Every person in that room has been impacted by cancer—as a survivor like me, advocate, philanthropist, caregiver, and researcher. We are stronger together— as we combine our hearts and minds to find cures, create community, and celebrate our fierce desire to live.

✨And using design as preventative medicine is one of the ways I contribute to the world.

Stay tuned for more on the ballet performance we spent weeks rehearsing to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Grand Central Station. 🩰

Remember, you are not alone.

As someone who suffered in isolation while going through one of the most terrifying moments of my life, this lesson hits deep. Special thank you to Sadia Haque Zapp & Anna Wassman-Cox who inspire me to keep that fire lit. So grateful for this beautiful tribe of souls!💕

✨Humbly Yours,
