EP 262: Divine Elements: Organizing Life & Home with Nakeya Divine

Good Neighbor Podcast: Frisco

What makes Nakeya Divine with Divine Elements of Design a good neighbor?

What happens when military precision meets interior design creativity? Nakeya Divine of Divine Elements of Design reveals the fascinating journey that took her from eight years of military service to becoming a sought-after design influencer with over 20 years in the industry.
Driven by a passion for creating beautiful, organized spaces even during her deployment years, Nakeya shares how that personal commitment evolved into a certified interior design career serving the DFW Metroplex since 2005. Her philosophy challenges common misconceptions about design, particularly the notion that DIY always saves money. "I cannot afford to do it cheaper," she explains, "because anytime I skimp on something, I have to rebuy it." This practical wisdom about investing in quality resonates with anyone who's experienced the frustration of replacing budget items repeatedly.
Most compelling is Nakeya's evolution from full-service designer to design influencer, sharing organizational strategies and home beautification tips through her YouTube channel, social media platforms, and blog. Her approach particularly speaks to busy professionals balancing careers and families. With two "batches" of children spanning from 27 to 5 years old, she understands firsthand the challenges of maintaining beautiful spaces amid life's demands. Her practical time-management techniques—like breaking overwhelming projects into 25-minute segments and prioritizing ruthlessly—offer listeners actionable strategies they can implement immediately. As Nakeya wisely puts it, "You don't have to do it all; you just have to prioritize what you're going to do."
