After the arrival of her third daughter, Anita Yokota, who transitioned from a 20year career as a licensed therapist to follow her passion for interior design, felt the pull towards creativity and decided to embark on a new journey. With dedication and passion, she grew her social media presence and caught the eye of renowned brands, eventually styling HGTV’s dream home in 2019.

In this renovation story, Anita invites us into her sanctuary filled with intention and warmth. Drawing on her background in therapy, she infuses her home with elements aimed at enhancing emotional wellbeing and elevating dopamine and serotonin levels through thoughtful decor choices. At the heart of her design philosophy lies a deep desire for family connection, evident in every corner of her home.

Tour her space with us as she showcases her DIY home projects, incorporating organic textures and lightfilled spaces throughout, while talking about the experience of renovating her own home.
