Healthier workspaces, by design.
I'm Priscille Joseph, a Certified Office Ergonomic Evaluator (COEE), WELL Accredited Professional and interior designer based in Ottawa. I help desk workers (hybrid, back-to-office and work-from-home) build a workspace that supports their body and mood, using four levers: ergonomics, light, air and plants.
On this channel:
— Desk Fix: laptop, chair, monitor and hot-desk setups that ease neck, back and eye strain
— Biophilic Workspace: plants that survive real offices, and what the research says
— Honest Reviews: smart gardens, desk lamps, laptop stands, tested at my desk
— Propagation Series: grow free desk plants from cuttings
Every video ends with one change you can make today.
Author & illustrator of My First ABC Book of Houseplants. As seen on CBC, CTV Morning Live, The Gazette & EcoParent.

Some changes around here 🌿 This channel is now all about healthier workspaces: ergonomics, light, air and plants, from a certified ergonomic evaluator. Starting in November: one new video every week. Your propagation favourites aren't going anywhere; they're now in the Propagation Series playlist. What should I fix first?

Fifty employees. Ninety minutes. No slides, no agenda!
When we designed the Herbal Wellness Atelier for The Lord Elgin Hotel, we didn’t want to host a plant workshop, we wanted to make sustainability tangible.
This is a hotel that has earned 4 Green Keys under the Green Key Eco-Rating Program and holds itself to over 100 criteria across environmental and social responsibility. Their own sustainability policy commits to sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients from local, organic suppliers, using recyclable materials and fully compostable takeout products, and even donating unused food to a food recycling organization rather than letting it go to waste. Not to mention their zero to low VOC implementation within their space.
So the atelier was built to live inside that same philosophy, not sit beside it. We opted in for eco-recycled planters, organic vegetable potting mix and mint grown locally instead of a disposable favor.
Fifty people left with more than a plant on their desk. They left with evidence that their employer understands sustainability not only for their guests but also for the entire team.
To The Lord Elgin Hotel: thank you for trusting us with an intentional Thursday afternoon , and for building it on values you already live by.
To their team: keep watering it. That five-minute reset is yours now.
To every other hospitality brand watching this: if sustainability is already part of your story, a wellness atelier like this isn’t an add-on, it’s a natural next chapter. Your team, or your guests, deserve an afternoon like this too.
Let’s chat!!!

There are seasons when you share everything.
And there are seasons when you go quiet… because something beautiful is forming.
The past little while, I chose quiet.
I was refining.
Refining my vision.
Refining my voice.
Refining what “home” truly means in this season of my life. How can I empower the next generation, families, mothers and communities.
As a mother.
As a designer.
As a woman building something that feels bigger than content.
I realized I don’t just want to create beautiful spaces.
I want to create experiences that bring people back to themselves.
Spaces that encourage gathering.
Conversation.
Connection.
And simply fun!
Something new has been taking root. It’s been quietly blooming behind the scenes.
And tomorrow, I’m sharing the first glimpse of this new chapter.
Meet me here.

I've pivoted from making videos that you can watch as a family to videos you can watch independently and teach your children, simply to reduce screen time. I've seen immense benefits of reducing screen time in my home and it starts with connection to nature. I'm here to inspire you!

I'm starting off the year by teaching my littles about gratitude. On February 1st, 2026, we will be writing down what we are grateful for and placing the cards in a large jar on our dining table. It's beautiful to see children learn gratitude. I invite you and your family to join ours. Grab your printable cards today. www.priscillejoseph.com/shop/p/daily-gratitude-car…

December is finally here!
This season may look different for many, I know it sure was a hard one for our family for a few years. Know that in the mist of the hurting, you can find hope and joy.
What’s one bucket list thing you will do this month?

Are you from the Greater Toronto Area? Do you have littles under the age of 5?
You'll want to visit Boogles Playhouse at Square One Mall. It's an innovative Montessori-inspired educational play space for young ones under the care of ECEs. The concept is amazing, and our collaboration was memorable. Thank you, Catherine, for pouring out into the next generation!
