Why We Created This
Life by Her Design is more than a digital magazine. It’s a love letter to the woman who’s starting over, stepping up, or simply searching for herself again.

We believe in stories that heal, ideas that spark joy, and the quiet strength that comes from building a life that actually feels like yours.
Founded by Ana Melendez, owner of two blogs (The Work at Home Blogger and Ana Melendez Blog). She is a passionate blogger and self-taught entrepreneur; this magazine was born from the grit of real life.
Ana’s journey started with a part-time job, a borrowed laptop, and a dream. And now? She is building a movement.
If you’re rebuilding after a heartbreak, starting a business from scratch, falling back in love with your own reflection, or finding peace in your glow, you’re already one of us.
Dream. Grit. Grow.
