embracing the beautiful imperfections of

a well-designed lifestyle

Adriana Mot is a Canadian interior designer, writer, and researcher working at the intersection of design, health, and everyday life. With over two decades of professional practice, her work explores how space, time, and language shape human wellbeing—particularly through daily routines, environments, and decision-making systems.

She is the founder of Land of Dochia, an interdisciplinary platform spanning interior design, education, media, and applied wellbeing frameworks. Through its practice and academy, Adriana works with private clients, institutions, and design professionals to rethink how design supports long-term health, cognitive resilience, and quality of life. Her approach combines front-loaded design strategy with behavioral insight, positioning interiors not as aesthetic outcomes but as lived systems.

Adriana is also the creator of Selftropy™, a research-driven framework that defines wellbeing as an emergent property of how individuals interact with space, time, and language across the day. Her current academic work focuses on stress, sleep, daily rhythms, and environmental modulation, with an emphasis on practical, non-clinical applications for creative professionals and built-environment practitioners. Research and Academics Credentials

Alongside her applied work, Adriana writes fiction and nonfiction that examine inner experience, domestic life, and designed realities. Her authored projects include Selftropic Scenes, a series of literary and visual works exploring perception and lived experience, and House of Dochia, a fictional universe investigating lineage, design, and cultural inheritance.

Adriana speaks regularly on design, wellbeing, and professional longevity, addressing audiences across architecture, interior design, entrepreneurship, and creative industries. Her talks bridge research, practice, and lived experience, offering frameworks that are both intellectually rigorous and immediately applicable.

She holds degrees in architecture and environmental studies, creative writing, and is currently pursuing graduate studies in psychology, with ongoing research into stress regulation and healthspan.

Adriana is based in Canada and works internationally.
