MUSEMUSE
Haeley Gjesvold is a Portland-based creative director and founder of MuseMuse Studio. Her work explores the relationship between space, scent, and story—shaping environments that feel intimate, intentional, and emotionally resonant. Drawing from styling, staging, and sensory design, Haeley approaches creative work as a form of atmosphere-building, where objects, light, and ritual converge to tell a story.

Scent Workshops
Haeley offers guided scent workshops for private groups, creative teams, and spaces, centered around candle and perfume making. Each workshop is designed to be hands-on, sensory, and memorable—inviting participants to explore scent as a tool for creativity, connection, and atmosphere.
Haeley offers hybrid home staging that works with a client’s existing home rather than fully furnishing it from scratch. Using the pieces already in place, she edits, rearranges, and styles the space—adding select furniture, objects, and finishing touches as needed—to create a cohesive, market-ready environment that photographs beautifully and appeals to buyers.
