Supportive ~ Inspired ~ Healthy Home Design

Kelli Barry, MD

Founder & Principle Designer 

Mindful Design by Kelli, LLC

MY WHY ?

I am a mom, wife, friend, sister and daughter.  Just like you, I too wear many hats and I'm proud each time I step into one of them.  What I know for sure is that no matter what role we assume at any given moment, we have unique skills we bring to be shared.  


I am a creative yet highly organized individual who loves building lasting, meaningful connections with other people.  And I love listening between the lines - finding the details someone is alluding to but not quite saying - putting the pieces of a puzzle together.  I'm also an action taker - I don't sit still long - ever forward looking, thinking and solution finding.   


It's these same skillsets that served me well in my career as a Primary Care Physician.  Now,  in what appears at first glance a seemingly unrelated field, they are serving me once again.  


After years of talking with patients struggling to find peace, health and purpose in their own lives which ultimately often affected their health,  I realized there were certain threads that seemed to play on repeat.  Lack of time, lack of energy, lack of control, lack of ability  to delegate to others, lack of allowing themselves a space/ place to rest and recharge.  What I know now is that many of the solutions to these concerns begin in our homes.  It comes from a sense of how our days run, how we signal to ourselves it's time to relax and connect to others and how we delegate within our home to keep it running smoothly.  Most importantly, it's the connection to our own why?  What is our story, past and present, and how does that play into our everyday in the way we show up and interact with others.  If we don't know our why then the hats we wear deplete us instead of fuel us.  



MY APPROACH ?

Mindful Design was created from a place of being a caregiver, a helper, a support team for others. That is who I am and always will be.  But I realized I might have a separate skillset that's been playing in the background my entire life, that I could now apply to help solve these same struggles I was seeing using a different approach.  


I began designing rooms  for friends & neighbors and quickly saw the changes that occurred after their projects were complete.  They felt energized, organized, supported and encouraged.  To step into their families and their own needs, to take time to rest and play together, to rethink their connection to family & friends through use of their new spaces and to have organized systems to help take the load off everyday house duties.  With attention to  Whole Family Design, remember my past here... caring for the healthy to the infirm, newborns to end of life care, all socioeconomic backgrounds in my former patients ,  I started creating spaces that were elevated but also fundamentally functional for everyone...   Yes, even the pets and grandparents !    


I love working towards a common goal.  By focusing on our clients' why (need for more functionality for everyday use, better hosting capacity, more clearly representing client stories and interests so it feels special, updating aesthetics to align with changing preferences, creating spaces to inspire certain feelings for specific situations, handling life transitions from growing kids to elder care or even sick family members' needs)  we partner to improve your life.   


I hope to touch as many  Capital District & Upstate NY families as possible with our design work while never letting go of our why and always showing up with a well developed Physician Mindset !
