From Stanford University to the Netherlands:
The Leading Designing Your Life Workshop in Europe.

Founder and mission
I know that quiet moment when something shifts, when your work or life no longer matches who you’re becoming. I’ve lived it myself: building a career across countries, becoming a mother, navigating change, and being made redundant twice. And I know there will be more transitions ahead.
That’s why I brought the Designing Your Life framework to expats across Europe. When life feels uncertain, our nervous system craves clarity. Without space to pause, we react instead of choose.
We create a warm, practical space to slow down, reconnect, and design what comes next, through focused workshops and immersive retreats where decisions become calmer, clearer, and more aligned.
This work isn’t meant to be done alone. It’s about finding your peers, your tribe, and the courage to design a life that truly fits you.
Designing your life
What is Designing Your Life?
Designing Your Life (DYL) is more than just a personal development program; it’s a revolutionary approach to navigating your future with the same creative mindset that designers use to build products and services. It’s not about abstract theories or wishful thinking. It’s about providing you with practical, actionable tools, engaging creative exercises, and the support of a vibrant community to help you move forward when you feel stuck, at a crossroads, or simply ready for a new chapter.
Stanford University Origins
Created by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans at the Stanford University Design Program.
Rooted in Proven Fields
Built upon the powerful principles of Design Thinking & Positive Psychology, ensuring a robust and effective methodology.
Globally Adopted
Adopted by leading universities worldwide, including Harvard, Yale, and Oxford, for its unique efficacy.
Millions Inspired
Transformed the lives of millions globally through best-selling books, dynamic workshops, and immersive retreats.
The DYL methodology empowers you to apply a structured yet creative process to your own life, moving from abstract ideas to concrete possibilities. It helps you identify what truly brings you joy and meaning, and then provides the frameworks to build a life that reflects those insights.

Return home grounded, clear, and courageous to step into your future.

When one door closes, another opens, this is the space to discover it.
