The acclaimed designer and producer encourages people to create beauty and connection through design, food, and shared experiences
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Renowned interior designer, production designer, and event professional Valicia Evans is using her recent spotlight feature to raise awareness about the power of creativity in everyday life-urging people to rediscover how simple acts of design, cooking, and togetherness can improve wellbeing and community connection.
"Design is not just about how things look," Evans says. "It's about how people feel when they walk into a space. Everyone has the ability to create that feeling-at home, at work, or anywhere they gather."
Inspiring Everyday Creators
With more than two decades of experience spanning interior design, television production, and event planning, Evans has seen firsthand how creativity shapes emotion and human connection. Through her work on hit sitcoms like Family Time and Partners in Rhyme, and her upcoming cooking show V's Vittles and Vibes (premiering 2026), Evans hopes to inspire people to bring intention and design thinking into their daily lives.
"People underestimate the power of atmosphere," Evans explains. "A thoughtfully arranged table or a well-lit room can completely change someone's mood. You don't need to be a professional to make life more beautiful-you just have to care."
Why Creative Living Matters
According to the American Psychological Association, creative engagement can reduce stress by up to 70% and improve overall life satisfaction. The World Health Organization has also found that creative activity and aesthetics contribute significantly to mental health and community wellbeing.
Evans believes these insights should guide how people approach both their homes and relationships. "We live in a time when everyone is busy and distracted," she says. "Taking five minutes to create a beautiful meal or rearrange a room is an act of love. It tells the people around you-and yourself-that you matter."
A New Chapter in Creativity
Her upcoming series, V's Vittles and Vibes, embodies that message by blending food, family, and lifestyle. The show will highlight practical ways to make everyday dining joyful and meaningful, from presentation tips to simple home-cooked recipes.
"Cooking brings everything I love together," Evans says. "It's creativity, presentation, and care-all on one plate."
The series aims to remind viewers that creativity isn't about perfection-it's about connection. "The best designs or dishes don't come from having the fanciest things," Evans notes. "They come from heart and purpose."
Encouraging Others to Take Action
Evans hopes her message will encourage people to embrace their own creative side-whether that means trying a new recipe, hosting a dinner, or simply reimagining a personal space. "Creativity is a form of self-care," she says. "When we make time for it, we bring light into our homes and our communities."
She urges individuals to start small:
Rearrange a room or workspace for better energy.
Cook something colorful and share it with family or friends.
Host a simple gathering-connection doesn't need to be extravagant.
Appreciate design and creativity in everyday places, from parks to cafes.
"Small creative choices can ripple into something much larger," Evans says. "They can change how people feel, how they connect, and even how they see the world."
