Life Design
Coming Home to Yourself
“It feels like a return to the essence of what I’ve always loved most: beauty, meaning, story, and space.”
I’m Gayle Zalduondo — creative and intuitive guide.
I help people create homes and messages that reflect who they truly are — and support where they’re going.
Through a blend of design, story, and presence, I work with individuals who are navigating transition and seeking deeper alignment. Whether through your home or your voice, this work helps you come home to yourself — and express what’s ready to emerge.
What I Do
My studio supports people in moments of shift—especially those craving more meaning, beauty, and resonance in how they live, work, and express themselves.
I call this work Life Design — an integration of two pathways:
Space Design (ReNest Philosophy)
Styling and reimagining spaces that reflect who you are now—and hold space for where you’re headed.
Rooted in my ReNest philosophy, this approach honors what you already have.
We begin by re-seeing your home: updating, rearranging, and refreshing with what’s present, before sourcing anything new.
When something fresh is needed, I turn toward gently used and soul-filled pieces—design that restores beauty and balance without excess or waste.
Each choice is intentional, guided by intuition, story, and sustainability.
It’s design that feels personal, grounded, and alive — helping your space become a sanctuary for your becoming.
Message Alchemy
Guiding your voice, story, and message into alignment with your truth—so your outer expression matches your inner evolution.
Whether you’re refining your brand, writing a book, or finding words for a new chapter, this work helps your voice sound like you again: authentic, embodied, and free.
Who I Work With
I primarily work with individuals or buisness’s who are:
Redefining their home or identity after a life change
Longing for a space that feels nurturing, expressive, and aligned
Navigating transition in work or creative direction
Ready for their message or environment to reflect their next chapter
Craving beauty, meaning, and belonging—not performance
If you’re standing at the edge of something new—and know it’s time for your surroundings or your story to reflect that—I can help.
My Approach
This is not about aesthetics—it’s about resonance.
Whether we’re working with your space or your message, I guide you to:
Clarify what feels true now
Let go of what no longer fits
Create beauty that mirrors your essence and supports your next chapter
My process is gentle, collaborative, and intuitive—rooted in 30+ years of design, storytelling, and placemaking.
It’s informed by deep listening, lived experience, and a respect for rhyth m—both yours and life’s.
Why Now
The world is changing—and so are you.
You don’t have to rush or have it all figured out.
But you can begin.
Whether it’s a room, a message, or a moment in your life that’s asking for renewal, this is your invitation to reconnect, realign, and create from the inside out.
“ReNest is design as restoration—honoring what’s here, while making space for what’s next.”

My Living values
01
Connection
I’ve come to see that we are in a living dance of dynamic relationship — with ourselves, one another, and the Earth.
Wholeness isn’t something to chase or achieve; it’s something we remember. It lives in the spaces between us — in the breath, in the pause, in the listening.
To truly thrive, I’ve learned to honor both individuality and belonging.
It’s not a paradox — it’s the path.
Each of us is a vital thread in the great web of life.
And when we nurture those threads — the ones that tie us to our bodies, our homes, our communities, and to the Earth itself — we begin to move through the world with more presence, creativity, and care.
Returning to right relationship — with myself, with others, with the living world — has become the heartbeat of everything I do.
Whether through movement, storytelling, or design, I create spaces where reconnection can take root.
Because every time we remember that we’re part of something greater, we reclaim our natural capacity to respond, relate, and rise.
02
Creation
I am here to serve the pulse of Creation—to tap into powerful creative energy, feel life's endless ebb and flow, and let it move through me with joy and reverence. Whether I'm shaping environments, birthing new ideas, or breathing life into outdated systems, I listen for the deep undercurrents that long to emerge.
Creation is not just what I do—it's how I live. It is an act of devotion and delight, a sacred dance with what wants to be born. When I surrender fully to that current and invite others into its rhythm, something meaningful happens: experiences awaken with purpose, joy becomes a guiding force, beauty becomes a catalyst for transformation, and change feels not only possible but inevitable.
03
Collaboration
For me, the essence lies in the union of creating something together, committing to the possibility of producing an outcome greater than what could be achieved in isolation. It's about trust, understanding, generous listening, sharing power, and open communication. By pooling our resources, we all become stronger together.
As Aristotle famously said, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." This quote encapsulates the essence of collaboration, where the combined efforts of individuals yield results beyond what each could accomplish alone.
