Applying Design with Being A Designer
Redesign Your Being is an ongoing, illustrated research project exploring how we shape our way of being — and how that might shift in times of societal and ecological transition.
At its core lies the question: how do our beliefs, emotions, perceptions and actions together form a design — often without our conscious awareness?
Rather than offering fixed solutions or definitive answers, Redesign Your Being creates space for reflection and reorientation. By weaving together perspectives from systemic design, psychology, philosophy and Indigenous knowledge, the project explores how individual experience is deeply intertwined with larger systemic change.
It invites readers to pause and reconsider how we create meaning in our lives, our relationships and our role in the world — and how design can help make those processes more conscious and intentional.
The outcome is an online, interactive book published chapter by chapter. Texts and illustrations first appear in sketch form, leaving room for evolution, deepening and feedback. This approach gives the project a co-creative character and keeps it open to new insights as it unfolds.
Over time, Redesign Your Being will become a richly illustrated body of work demonstrating how design thinking can contribute to personal and collective transition — and how reflection, imagination and experimentation play a central role in that process.
