Portrait of Fatima Sakrani, founder of Fatima Sakrani Design, offering nervous system focused design guides, audits, redesign direction, and visual concepts for business spaces.

Hi, I’m Fatima.

At a silent retreat in the jungles of Indonesia, I was given the prompt, "If you died tomorrow, what would your biggest regret be?"

The words "Not becoming the designer I knew I was meant to be" stared back at me from my journal, with that deep pit in the stomach you get when you know it's time to make a decision that will alter the course of your life. For me, that decision was ending my nine-year career as a mental health therapist.

I started sharing my interior designs publicly in July 2025. In under eight months, my designs had influenced over $17,000 in purchases from people who had never spoken to me, never hired me, and never asked for a recommendation. They just saw the space and felt something.

So I did it. I took the leap of faith, and here I am.

Mental health taught me how the nervous system reads safety. Design gave me a way to create it.

In therapy rooms, hospitals, offices, schools, and homes, I spent nearly a decade studying how people experience safety, comfort, trust, and ease. Those feelings can be stifled or nurtured by the environments we exist in - both consciously and subconsciously.

When I left the mental health field, that training did not disappear. It became the lens I brought into my favorite form of creativity: interior design.

Design is how I ikigai (watch video about ikigai here). My flow state. The activity that makes time disappear and energy multiply. I have spent years immersed in the study of interiors, hospitality design, and the sensory details that make a space feel alive, elevated, and impossible to forget.

“Fatima is the best a therapist can be. Her wit and candor make every session interesting and thought-provoking. Her guidance has helped me work towards becoming the most resilient and mindful version of myself in a supportive habitat. Her genuine care is apparent in all of our conversations, as well as in her attention to detail. She feels like a partner in helping me sort out the mess of my life, and I leave every session feeling more positive and hopeful. There is no one I could recommend more to those serious about their personal growth journey.”

Why I only work with businesses:

I work exclusively with businesses because businesses shape everyday life. They solve problems, create meaningful experiences, offer places for people to gather, heal, work, celebrate, rest, and return to. When a business is designed with care, it can enrich far more than the people who own it. It can change the experience of everyone who walks through the door.

My gift to you is the opportunity to give you, your staff, and your customers a refresh, a sprucing up, a sparkle, a hug.

How you design your space is your unique way of communicating with every single person who enters it. My team and I understand the importance of ensuring people feel safe, satisfied, and satiated when they’re in your piece of the world.

Let’s make your business environment intrinsically unforgettable.
