Andrew Joseph: What’s inspiring you in life (in your industry) right now?
Haleh Aleman: I am most excited about the launch of Home Wellness Interior Design, an affordable online resource for holistic interior design services and for sourcing sustainable furnishings. As designers, we are constantly re-inventing and I’ve decided to be true to myself. My goal with HWID is to offer everyone access to beautifully designed, unique spaces to live and work with health and wellness in mind.

Andrew: If you weren’t a designer, you’d be a ….?
Haleh: If I wasn’t a designer, I would coach the younger generation, nurturing and igniting their sense of capability, teaching them how to create a remarkable future through their mindset, and motivating them to take action to reprogram their Paradigm to live their best life.
