Annie Guest had a varied career in book publishing, advertising, and law, before she took another jump to work as a mental health therapist and publish her first book. In Design For Your Mind, Annie combines her passion for people and their potential with her love for interior design and her appreciation for the design choices that support the mind and body.

Annie's approach to design reflects her lifelong passion for interior design and what she understands about its power to bolster focus, creativity, and health. Design For Your Mind has struck a chord with readers, reviewers, podcasters, radio hosts, and print journalists. The book has been featured by over 70 U.S. and international media outlets, including NPR, LA Talk Radio (Los Angeles, CA), Talk Radio NYC (New York, New York), as well as on podcasts reaching audiences in Seattle, Boston, Honolulu, Santa Barbara, Dallas, Chicago, St. Louis, Birmingham, AL, the United Kingdom (UK), Europe, and Australia. Readers and interviewers want to learn about the quick, easy, and affordable design choices they can make to boost their well-being today and help them thrive over a lifetime.

Annie's ideas for using design to foster a young child's healthy mental development were featured in First Time Parent Magazine. Her article "How to Design a Bedroom Your Toddler (and You) Will Love" was published in the magazine's January 2026 Special Edition.  Better Homes & Gardens featured Annie's design tips in its January 2026 issue.
