The way we design and furnish our homes matters — for our wellbeing, for our communities, and for the planet. But too often, interiors are treated as disposable, trend-driven, or disconnected from nature.

Earth & Origin was created to change that. We bring together sustainable sourcing, storytelling, and design thinking to show how interiors can support both human and planetary health.

About me

I’m Michelle Moffatt, an interior designer with a background in sustainability and international development. After years working in evaluation and research while renovating properties in my spare time, I decided focus on interiors. However I soon realised, drawing on my background in sustainable development, that our interiors could do more to support both people and planet. I developed a passion for creating homes that feel meaningful and are packed with personality; whilst also supporting livelihoods, communities and our planet. Through careful research and transparent, traceable sourcing I realised our interiors could not only ‘do less harm’ but could actually be a force for good in our world.

What you can expect

Through Earth & Origin, I share:

• Practical guides to sustainable materials and sourcing;

• Inspiration for meaningful, nature-connected interiors;

• The evidence and latest design thinking on regenerative, ethical, healthy interiors.

Looking ahead

This space will grow into more — from resources and toolkits, to curated products, to a podcast exploring how interiors can help us live better while doing better for people and our planet.
