Childhood by Design creates intentional, functional kid spaces where play and learning thrive. Rooted in educational expertise and a less is more philosophy, we design spaces that support independence and make everyday family life feel calm and manageable.
Creating calm, deliberate spaces for childhood, and parenthood. Childhood by Design helps families design and simplify their homes so that family life feels more connected, less chaotic, and true to the people living in it.
Hi, I’m Jessica DeNotta—educator, designer, and mom of four.
With a Master’s in Education and years of experience as a classroom teacher, I’ve always been drawn to how environment shapes behavior, especially for kids. Now, through my studies at the New York School of Interior Design and my real-life experience raising four little ones, I help families create spaces and systems that actually work.
I believe less is more. No more overflowing bins, scattered toys, or routines that drain the whole house. I help parents clear the clutter, both physical and mental, and design calm, intentional homes where kids can thrive and adults can breathe.
