DESIGN YOUR LIFE
Designing Your Life (DYL), created at Stanford University, combines Design Thinking with Life Design to help individuals actively shape their futures. This methodology allows people to imagine and plan their lives through different alternative scenarios, known as Odysseys.
The Designing Your Life approach shows how design thinking principles can lead individuals to a satisfying and balanced life, integrating both personal and professional dimensions.

the story of the dyl methodology and linkbeat
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.
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.
DESIGNING A FULFILLING LIFE, WHERE ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN HARMONY
BRING DYL TO YOUR ORGANIZATION

START YOUR PERSONAL DYL JOURNEY
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 reframing, radical collaboration, curiosity, readiness for action, and storytelling!
