Get to Know Me
Hi, I'm Deana, the systems thinker behind Peace of Mind by Design.
B.S. Information Systems
Big Four firm
My husband and I paid off a brand-new house in 3.5 years and cleared every debt we had, $359,242 total, by the time we were 30. Not because we're extraordinary. Because we treated our household like a system worth designing.
It took nearly a decade of different experiences to bring mindset and systems together into what Peace of Mind by Design offers today: something simplified and easy to actually implement. I made mistakes, adjusted the plan, and researched every way I could find to manage money and get ahead, testing frameworks from people who've made a name for themselves in the financial space until I found what actually worked, then customized it until it produced real results.
Peace of Mind by Design is that system, handed to you. The same framework, the same mindset shifts, and a community of people walking the same path, whether you're just starting to get honest about your numbers or ready to build a real plan.
THE PROOF
3.5 YEARS. A home, paid off.
Brand new build. Not inherited, not a fixer-upper. Bought and paid off in three and a half years.
$359,242. Total Debt, eliminated.
Every dollar cleared in six years. Home, cars, student loans, credit cards, and everything in between.
DEBT-FREE BY 30. A finish line, crossed early.
No mortgage. No car note. No credit card balance. No student loans. Nothing left owing.
We are not licensed financial advisors and we do not manage anyone’s money.

Differentiators
This is not theory. We paid off our house and every debt we had, then went back and mapped what actually worked into six steps you can run.
Most advice hands you another tracker and calls it a strategy. You get one honest picture, one plan, one lever at a time.
Budgets fail on willpower. When how you think about money changes, the daily decisions get easier and start compounding.
You are not behind. Whether it is $500 or six figures of debt, you move at the pace your life allows.
Not a course you consume and forget. A framework plus the Peace of Mind Club, real people walking the same path.
Take the first step toward your own financial peace.
Three doorways in. Pick the one that fits where you are.
