About this listen

When we think of interior design, we often focus on aesthetics—but what about the psychological needs that shape how a space truly feels? In this episode of Design Deep Dive, I chat with Dr. Sarah Seung-McFarland, a licensed psychologist specializing in design and fashion psychology, to explore the deeper connections between space, identity, and well-being.

Dr. Sarah shares her journey from counseling psychology to design psychology, how she integrates environmental autobiographies into her interior design work, and why understanding emotional connections to space is essential for creating a home that truly supports us.


In this episode:

  • The role of design psychology in creating spaces that reflect identity and emotional needs
  • How environmental autobiographies help uncover past, present, and future relationships to place
  • Why a home’s emotional impact is just as important as its visual appeal
  • The future of design psychology and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration
