Designing Your Life (DYL) – A Flexible and Creative Approach
Many of us experience life and career transitions — planned and unplanned, periods of feeling stuck, and changes within ourselves, our relationships, and our communities.
Designing Your Life (DYL) provides an opportunity to learn the skill of life design© — a hands-on approach to applying the creative, iterative, human-centered design process to crafting a life you love.
In our own lives, and in the lives of our clients, we have found Life Design© to be a creative and flexible approach to navigate personal and professional challenges, with tools to surface new insights and translate those insights into action.
Our services:

Design a life you love, at any age or stage
Based on the work of Stanford Professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, Designing Your Life (DYL) demonstrates how design thinking can help you create a life and career in which you can flourish.
Be Intentional
The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.
