Life-Centered Design
We aim to restore natural ecosystems while we design thriving communities and organisations. As humans, we are a small part of an extensive ecosystem, but our impact on the planet is enormous. With Life-Centered Design, we create strategies that give back to nature and life in our world. We help you design a positive impact with your organisation and community.

Core principles of Life-Centered Design
Empathising with nature
Life-Centered Design aims to recognize the needs of nature and life on our planet by understanding the importance of the survival and well-being of all ecosystems.
Build healthy communities
Life-Centered Design cares for communities and people that live and work there. Healthy people who are aware of their surroundings take better care of our planet.
Restore Ecosystems
Life- Centered Design is a regenerative approach to design. It uses systems thinking and circular design principles to restore the ecosystems of the planet.
Creativity & Science
The environmental & social challenges we face today are complex. We can not solve this just with scientific thinking or with creative thinking. We need a merging of both.
“Life-Centered Design is a design philosophy and approach that goes beyond human needs. In recent years, more designers, design researchers, activists, and professionals who practice any form of design (thinking) have started to question whether what we love doing the most (designing) is good for the planet, life on earth, or humanity. Among others in my field, I believe how we use design today damages our world. Fortunately, our skills and mindsets can benefit all life on earth. From these insights, Life-Centred Design was born.”
