RoomWell was created by Nicole Malagodi Pope after spending nearly three months within the maternal and neonatal hospital care system during a complicated twin pregnancy.

As a designer with a master’s degree in Interior Architecture, Nicole has long been interested in thoughtfully designed environments and how they influence human experience, particularly within compact spaces. That academic interest became deeply personal during her own hospitalization and NICU experience with her daughter, Juniper.

Small environmental interventions such as soft lighting, familiar textures, organizational tools, calming routines, comforting scents and sensory regulation items became important anchors during an uncertain experience.
