Studio 7 Design. Well

What Studio 7 Design. Well does

Studio 7 Design.Well, founded in 2010 by Jamie Willemse in Portland, Oregon, is a biophilic interior design practice operating as a "living lab" focused on health, wellness, and human performance in the built environment. The firm serves four vertical segments — wellness and healthcare (yoga studios, spas, medi-spas, medical offices, fitness centers), workplace and corporate (offices, co-working spaces, corporate retreats), retail and hospitality (showrooms, restaurants, hotels), and residential/home (wellness spaces, home offices, aging-in-place). Its design methodology is codified in two proprietary frameworks — the "Seven Design Principles" (Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, Emphasis, Unity, Contrast, Human Relevance) and the "Five Senses Design Approach" — and is reinforced by Fitwell and IIDA professional affiliations.

The core offering is full-service interior design and build, with pricing on a quote basis following a complimentary 30-minute consultation offered in-person at the Portland studio, on-client-site, or virtually. Complementary to the design practice, the firm operates the Apothecary, a consumer product line of scented candles, reed diffusers, room and linen sprays, pillow mists, hand care items, and specialty oils priced $14-$38, sold through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at studio7.design. The Apothecary functions as both a recurring-revenue stream and a brand-discovery channel for prospective design clients.

Studio 7 is a privately held, bootstrapped LLC with no disclosed external funding and a headcount of approximately six, indicating a boutique-scale professional services operation. The business relies on a consultative, sales-led go-to-market for design services and direct e-commerce for Apothecary products, with marketing driven by its website/blog, Design Week Portland participation, client testimonials, referrals, and an email newsletter. The studio's downtown Portland location doubles as a working office and a biophilic demonstration space, supporting both client conversion and thought-leadership positioning in the Pacific Northwest wellness design market.
