Watch a brief introduction to Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett.
In the early 2010s, the “Designing Your Life” (DYL) course, programme and the best selling books, emerged from the research and minds of Professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, both seasoned designers and educators, at Stanford University @ the Life Design lab.
Drawing upon their extensive experiences in Silicon Valley and human-centered design, they developed the Life Design framework, which has since become a global phenomenon.
Start your journey with Navyug Mohnot, the world's only Designing Your Life certified Facilitator, Coach and Educator. All three!

“Live a life of ‘AND’ and not ‘OR’ ”
Based on my life experiments and experiences as the CEO of QAI, a
trans-national Process Improvement consulting organisation, and
the Founder & CEO of QGLUE, a design consulting, coaching and
training company, I have found that it’s possible to “design” one’s
way forward and live a life of ‘AND’ rather than ‘OR.’.

The future does not exist, but a limitless
number of possible futures exist, and can be
created. What if we could use a process to
create a flourishing, happy AND successful
life? Generate both money AND meaning?

“Live a life of ‘AND’ and not ‘OR’ ”
Designing isn’t limited to products, it’s a way of thinking. At its core, design is about solving problems, making choices, and building a future with purpose. I am a passionate advocate for design, driven by the belief in its transformative power. I see endless possibilities and exciting futures…for individuals and for organizations like.
Throughout my life, I have enjoyed a diverse array of experiences and experiments, as a CEO and founder, as a mentor, as a father… and what I have discovered is that it is possible to design one’s way forward. To live a life of ‘AND’ rather than ‘OR’.
This conviction led me to a deep immersion in Stanford University’s Designing Your Life framework. I’m now a Stanford-trained and certified Designing Your Life Coach, Facilitator, and Educator, working with individuals, professionals, and universities.
The future doesn’t exist, but an infinite number of possible futures do. My mission is to help you design your way into them.
I would be delighted to engage with you…
and shed light on the power of design
for organizational and personal
thriving and success.

“Want to find fulfilment at last?
Think like a designer”
“[DYL] has become one of the most popular electives at [Stanford]. The method has been the subject of two PhD theses and has demonstrated significant results in helping people design the life they want.”
“It’s not always easy to connect the dots between the legacy you want to leave on the world and the career decisions you need to make today…Design thinking, values-based but practical, provides a bridge.”
Don’t worry about finding your ‘passion.’
Think like a designer: Try out quick prototypes of multiple ideas to learn what actually makes you happy”
A lot can happen over a conversation.
Say hello to get in touch, stay informed about upcoming Designing Your Life (DYL) workshop dates, cities, and other exciting updates!
