New Earth Design Collective
Through
practice, research,
and training,
we are advancing
a new paradigm
for the built environment
while building
a new modality for design:
Energetic Design Intelligence.

New Earth Design Collective (NEDC) was founded by Leslie Murphy, an entrepreneur with deep experience in interior design, real estate, and, more recently, community-scale development. Her work operates at the intersection of design, the psychology of space, and energetic practice.
She has owned, managed and directed a number of businesses in the interior design and consumer products space - she is also trained within traditional Andean energy practices and brings a refined sensitivity to the energetic and psychological dimensions of space. Through this lens, she has developed a unique ability to perceive and work with the unseen dynamics that influence how environments feel and function.
This perspective is grounded in years of hands-on experience across design and construction projects, allowing her to seamlessly bridge intuitive insight with practical execution. At NEDC, this integrated approach is formalized through a specialized design methodology known as Energetic Design Intelligence.
Energetic DEsign Intelligence
Energetic Design Intelligence is a design methodology that considers the full set of conditions shaping a space—human, spatial, energetic, ecological, and material—to create environments that are coherent, high-performing, and supportive of long-term well-being.
It recognizes that the built environment is not neutral. How a project is led, how decisions are made, how a site is understood, how nature is integrated, and how a space is designed all directly influence how people feel, interact, regulate, and live within it.
EDI also considers the impact of regenerative consumerism — encouraging thoughtful sourcing, enduring materials, ethical production, and fewer but better choices that support both human well-being and ecological restoration over time. Rather than contributing to cycles of disposability and overstimulation, EDI advocates for environments built with integrity, longevity, and conscious relationship to resources.

Designing for the Future
As develolopments grow larger and more complex, success is no longer defined solely by speed to market or initial returns. The long-term viability of a project depends on how well it supports the people who live, work, and gather within it — and how effectively it adapts over time.
For the humans who inhabit these spaces, this approach results in environments that feel supportive, — places that encourage well-being, belonging, and continued engagement rather than fatigue or turnover. For developers, it translates into assets that age well, require fewer corrective interventions, and maintain value over time.
Ultimately, this work is about building places that people want to return to — and that continue to function, financially and experientially, long after the initial development phase has passed.
