Valerie Muszynski is an author and designer who believes the things we use every day should make life a little easier—and maybe a little more fun. With a background in architecture, interior design, real estate, and fitness, Valerie creates thoughtfully designed books and journals for real life. Her work ranges from home maintenance planners that help homeowners confidently care for their homes to reading journals, guided journals, workout logs, and giftable notebooks with plenty of personality. She is the creator behind this HOUSE | your HOME and Write It Down Society—two brands connected by the same philosophy: good design should be useful, approachable, and made for the person actually using it. A mom of four, homeowner, gardener, reader, and perpetual project-starter, Valerie understands that life is busy. Her books are designed to help you keep track of what matters, make a little space for yourself, accomplish your goals, and occasionally laugh at the chaos.
