Description

How does our personality influence the design choices we make? In this episode of Design Deep Dive, I chat with Sophia Trinh, an artist based in Seattle, WA, about personality, social-emotional needs, and designing spaces that reflect and support our authentic selves.


Sophia shares her journey of self-discovery through her art and engaging in the design psychology process. We discuss navigating cultural influences in creating a comfortable home, the importance of communicating our needs when sharing space with others, the power of space to enhance creativity, and why understanding one's personality is essential for creating a home that truly supports us.



In this episode:

  • The value of personality assessment in creating spaces that reflect identity and emotional needs
  • How to navigate different social and other personality needs in shared spaces
  • The importance of allowing our environments to evolve as we do
  • The role of design psychology in helping us align our internal world with our external environment
