LIFE-CENTERED DESIGN STUDIO
Designing
with the
Rhythm of Life
We make sure what you mean is what people experience
WHERE WE START
Everything we make becomes a living thing
Growth creates drift
Every living system changes. The question is whether the way it appears in the world changes with it.
SCOPE
What we help grow
Different things. Same way of coming apart.
Forms of drift
When what you say about yourself stays where it was
When the spaces no longer hold what you mean
When the product stops behaving the way you’d describe it
SELECTED LIVING PROCESSES
What’s already growing
Six years in Tabl Village, Qeshm. A fisherman's boat, and his earnings up more than 600%.
A guide for people deciding whether to do this. Between the clinic's language and the ceremony's.
A place for the story you stopped telling. We're building it.
START HERE — FIRST READING
You talk about your work. We ask questions.
Afterwards you receive one page: what your work is, and what you appear to be trying to do. Written plainly.
Not a proposal. Not a diagnosis. Just a clear reading of what’s actually there.
The map
One place to begin. Three ways forward.
Learning
A place to practice seeing
We run workshops on creativity and life-centered design. No pitch, no diagnosis. Just a couple of hours of looking at something together.
Life-Centered Design
An introduction to designing with the living systems a design becomes part of: people, culture, technology, and the land, water, and other lives around it.
