Your design study is a set of questions that describes what you love visually in an environment. Questions such as: “what colors are you drawn to”, and “what patterns do you hate?” This is a great place to start for people looking to discover what they like visually in an environment from within themselves. People who are ready to deeply engage with their own environment and have creative control over their own aesthetic in their home specifically.

• Uncover your Personal Symbols

Symbols contain a rich depth of meaning for all individuals. By engaging with this process you will begin to call up the wisdom within your subconscious. This is a great process for people who would like to engage with pure inspiration. Separate from all rules and boxes, this personal symbols exploration gives you complete freedom to listen to what direction your energy is pulled towards. Finding your symbols and then researching what these symbols may mean for you will unlock a depth of understanding for yourself you may have never had access to before. (I will be referencing Tachen’s Book of Symbols).

• Uncover your Archetypal Energies

This process is similar to uncovering your personal symbols. However, where symbols are more visual, your archetypes are more psychological. “Jungian archetypes are defined as universal, primal symbols and images that derive from the collective unconscious, as proposed by Carl Jung. They are the psychic counterpart of instinct. It is described as a kind of innate unspecific knowledge, derived from the sum total of human history, which prefigures and directs conscious behavior.” -wikipedia (The specific archetypes we will be using are held within the Wild Unknown Archetypes card deck).

By uncovering your personal archetypal energies you will connect to energy locked within your subconscious that perhaps you have never engaged with on a personal level before. This is the bridge to the collective unconscious where all creative energy springs forth.

*If you are so inclined, ask me about an archetype card reading.

• Visualizing your perfect day

This process is perfect for anyone. I recommend everyone in my life do this process as often as possible. In this modality, you will be asked to describe in great detail what a perfect day in your life would look like for you. Separate from anyone else’s expectations, or societal norms, in the sanctity of your own inner world, you will describe for yourself what a perfect day means to you alone. It is my belief that this process of pure honesty can unlock a great deal of suppressed emotional energy that can help you right the ship of your life (as it has for me).

• Your Vision Board

This process connects what you love visually to the deeper energy of WHY. By taking the time to collect images that speak to you on a deeper level and creating a collage of these special meanings, you intentionally tell the universe what you are seeking to create in your life. No one should underestimate the power of a human being intentionally creating in this way. Your commitment to your inner world will color how you experience your life.

• The Life Wheel

This is a simple yet profound process. The life wheel asks you to divide your current reality into sections such as career, and environment and rate each of these sections from 1 to 10. 1 being the worst and 10 is perfect for you. This can come as a shock and I’ve seen this simple act alone completely change people’s lives. Because this is just for you, you must bring your own inner knowing and truth to this process or else its effects will be too surface level.

• Crystal Attraction

The Crystal attraction exercise is a great way to use your visual perception to connect with your deeper energies. Basically, I will show you a wide array of crystals (my personal collection) and allow you to take a moment to see which ones you are attracted to the most. This intuitive exercise connects your innate color desires to your deeper energetic needs. Based on your selections I will share with you what the basic meanings of these crystals are, what they may mean emotionally for you, as well as any connections I feel between them and the other information you have shared with me.

Based on my Color Psychology Article we will discuss what colors you are most attracted to & their typical underlying meanings!

*Note- You will need to share with me photos that you have personally taken or saved so that I can find your color patterns within what you already love!

One of the more esoteric modalities! I will do a simple past present future tarot reading (or another spread of your choosing) for you based on the subject you wish to explore further.

• Your Human Design Type & Strategy

Human Design is a mix between the chakra system, your birth chart, and a personality format. When you enter your birth information it tells you your unique energetic blueprint, type, and specific energies that are either solid from within you or open to conditioning from outside messaging. If you are someone interested in seeing and possibly unlocking the blocked energy within you individually this may be a fun place to start for you! People who are not particularly interested in the esoteric may want to skip this one. Here is a basic definition…“Human Design - is a holistic self-knowledge system combining astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and Vedic philosophy.” - Wikipedia

• Your Myers Briggs Letters & Meaning

Your Myers Briggs system is an introspective personality modality that uses psychological preferences to describe your unique personality in terms of comparing these traits: introversion & extroversion, intuitive & sensing, feeling & thinking, and judging & perceiving. When you complete the questionnaire you will have four letters that describe how you look at the world and make decisions. This is a great place to start with your inner circle journey and anyone can have fun looking into the results of this assessment.

• Your Enneagram Number & Wing

Like Myers Briggs, the enneagram seeks to compare common personalities and their intricate connections. There is no assessment, you must read each number (which is a personality type) and decide which one most closely resembles your personality. I recommend if you get stuck, ask the people closest to you what they would pick! Often this enneagram process is challenging at first since the numbers aren’t listed in the most positive light! However, each number has innate gifts that should be explored deeper, and engaging with the shadow side of your persona is a tried and true way to unlock some of the creativity within that perhaps you didn’t realize you had. I would recommend this for anyone looking to further their understanding of themselves and their personal relationships with others.

• Your Unique Astrology

Astrology is an immense topic. People spend lifetimes deciphering their and others’ birth charts. Since it is a wealth of information I would definitely recommend looking at your birth chart if you are interested! I am deeply interested in astrology and have found much personal inspiration within it. With me, you can expect to go over your big three (rising, sun, and moon sign) what their significations may mean for you as well as the basic house significations and planet meanings! Again if you aren’t someone into the more esoteric subjects I would steer clear of this one!

• Does your unique energy lean more Yin or Yang?

Utilizing the concept of Yin Yang, we will discuss which way you feel your energy leans in your current reality. Just engaging with this concept opens up the reality that we need all kinds of energy to have a functional world. When you know which way your energy leans you can be cognizant of how you are showing up and what you are energetically asking for from others (yourself, your environment, or your creativity). This is a great basic concept if you would like to explore your unique energy further.

• Are you more a loafer or a slicer?

I made this concept up when trying to explain to my partner and my girlfriends how I understand time. Like Yin Yang, I’ve found that people often resonate with one of these concepts deeply. Imagine that all of time is a loaf of bread. There are some people who are great a being in the moment and others who feel as though they are living all of time (or all timelines) at once… If this sounds interesting to you this conversation is for you!

This exercise references my Article on Ikigai. Your Ikigai is a beautiful Japanese concept that means “Your reason for being”. It’s a diagram that you intentionally engage with to see the connection points between those things you value most in life. It often uncovers deep meeting points in your life where perhaps you didn’t see the connection in your life before.

• Your Insight Questions (Required)

These are probably the most important aspect of this process and I would recommend these to anyone! These questions outline many deeper self topics and allow you to take a birds-eye view of your VALUES. These questions were curated by me specifically for my design process, and are the basis for the inspiration I find through my client’s deeper selves.
