Mindful designer

Design your world to be simpler, smarter, and kinder.

Why

The world isn't mindful

Our world is noisy.
Our work is messy.
Our minds are busy.
Being a designer in a constantly changing environment can get to us.It's hard to work in an environment of uncertainty and be the person that's supposed to be ok with the unknown.

  • Difficulty in setting boundaries and managing work-life balance

"It’s easy to fall into a life that’s designed by default. I’ve been there. It feels frustrating and suffocating and completely isolating. I made this course to support designers and leaders to live more intentionally from the inside-out"
