Our Mission
Advances in cancer treatment have shifted most of a child's care from the hospital to the home. Children fighting cancer now spend the majority of their treatment journey at home, receiving medications, managing side effects, recovering between treatments, and navigating the realities of cancer care outside the hospital.
Yet these home environments can vary dramatically based on each family's financial circumstances, housing conditions, and caregiving capacity, creating disparities in the at-home treatment experience, recovery environment, safety, and quality of life.
Designing Dreams brings intentional design into the home through treatment-informed bedroom transformations that address the realities of cancer care at home.
GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
Medical Safety
Depending on each child's needs, we may replace worn carpeting with easier-to-maintain flooring, improve organization to reduce environmental hazards, and create spaces that better support treatment and recovery at home.
Play & Learning
We design dedicated spaces that support home-based education, creativity, and age-appropriate development while helping children maintain a sense of normalcy.
Functional Design
Thoughtful organization and storage help reduce clutter, improve accessibility, and make everyday routines easier for children and caregivers. We create functional systems designed around each family's space and needs.
Rest & Recovery
We create comfortable, accessible sleep environments designed to support rest and adapt to each child's treatment-related and physical needs throughout treatment.
Emotional Well-Being
Thoughtful environments can support comfort and emotional well-being throughout treatment. We design each room to create a calming, personalized space that supports the child's comfort, dignity, and sense of self.
Personalized Spaces
By incorporating each child's interests, hobbies, favorite colors, and passions, we create spaces that celebrate their identity and remind them they are so much more than their diagnosis.
