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.
