Designing Your Life

Welcome and great to see you are interested in Designing Your Life education! Whether you are a student or educator, this website has everything you need to get started.

What do I want to do after my studies? Designing Your Life helps students answer this question with the innovative method of design thinking to approach one’s life and career path. Students learn to empathize with their current situation, brainstorm about where to go, and prototype and test several possible futures. 

Inspired by the best-selling book and course at Stanford, Designing Your Life was developed and implemented at Leiden University by Dr. Bram Hoonhout with a Comenius Senior grant for educational innovation. Here at the Honours Academy of Leiden University, we offer several different Designing Your Life courses, including a 'climate changemaker' variant.
