ABOUT design your life
Designing Your Life, developed at Stanford University, is a methodology that integrates Design Thinking into Life Design, empowering individuals to actively shape their futures. Through the Designing Your Life approach, individuals can envision and plan their future across various alternative scenarios, known as Odysseys, throughout their lives.
Designing Your Life showcases how design thinking principles can guide individuals towards a gratifying and well-rounded life, encompassing both personal and professional dimensions.
Foundations of the Methodology
Designing Your Life originated at Stanford’s Life Design Lab, developed by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. Initially offered as a course to students, the methodology applies the principles and tools of Design Thinking to the construction of life projects. Its success led to a bestselling book and the creation of a global community of coaches and facilitators.
LINKBEAT AND DESIGN YOUR LIFE
Francesca Parviero connected with Kathy Davies, Managing Director of the Life Design Lab at Stanford University, and Susan Burnett, Co-founder and CEO of Designing Your Life Consulting, during her participation in the ‘Designing Your Life for Women’ event in New York in 2018. In 2019, Francesca brought to Italy the book “Design Your Life” published by Rizzoli BUR and curated the prologue.
Linkbeat is the first and only Italian Design Your Life workshop provider. Francesca Parviero and Elena Santambrogio became DYL facilitators for Linkbeat, and LInkbeat belongs to the international team of Facilitators.

Engaging people within organizations means working on their processes of growth, autonomy, and well-being. Design Your Life means addressing a path of awareness and enhancement at the different stages of the employee and people experience, bringing out the uniqueness and distinctive traits of each person within the organization and facilitating the integration between personal goals and business objectives.
Using the Design Your Life methodology means enabling all people to more consciously express their identity and authenticity and participate in a value conversation that generates a virtuous impact for the organization of which they are a part, and fosters dialogue between genders, generations and cultural differences that coexist within the organizational system.
Becoming aware means taking responsibility, shifting the focus from the outside to the inside: people who are aware of who they are, what they want and what they believe in will turn their intentionality toward a purpose, a meaning that will enable them to achieve their goals in terms of growth, training, development and acquisition of new skills. A reframe of one’s approach to the world of work as one of the dimensions of life. Integrated with everything else.
let’s meet to co-design YOUR LIFE!design your life FOR PEOPLE
The Design Your Life workshops are designed for all those people who are living a particular phase of their lives, and since we are constantly evolving, it is always the right time to devote an in-depth study of this kind. It is a very practical and concrete journey of collective meetings that take place in a synchronous mode – in presence or remotely – where we guide those who participate to experience this methodology and train the Design Thinking mindsets functional to it.
Design Your Life (DYL) offers the opportunity to learn the skill of life design©️, a hands-on approach to applying the creative, iterative, human-centered design process to pursue the goals that lead us to realize the best of our lifes. And to discover that there is not just one alternative, but the Odysseas-as Burnett and Evans call them-are many, we just need to change the eyes with which we look, to the tune of mindfulness, reframing, radical collaboration, curiosity, readiness for action, and storytelling!
