Most lives are inherited.
Yours doesn't have to be.
A life design brand for multi-passionate people who are tired of designing their lives around everyone else's expectations.
We believe a life is the longest piece of design work you'll ever do.
Most people live by default, with borrowed values, inherited timelines, and a career chosen at nineteen. The consequence isn't always unhappiness or unfulfilment - it can simply be a competence at the wrong life.
IKIGLOO exists for the curious minds who want to see what their life looks like when they fully express who they are, one little experiment and one little system at a time.
We created a 5-stage life design method to help you remember who you are and design a life that lets you express it fully, without leaving parts of yourself behind.
The next few weeks could be the most useful weeks you've spent on yourself in a long time.
Self-Discovery
Know who you truly are when no one is looking.
Before you choose a direction, you have to learn where you are coming from. We help you map everything you need to get to know yourself deeply.
10 tools & frameworks - from your values and strengths to your shadow and clarity compass
What we cover:
Life Context
Map the life you're actually living.
A vision that ignores your life context is a fantasy. We help you to honestly survey your landscape so that your life design is built on reality.

What we cover:
Vision & Direction
Choose a story worth writing.
A vision is a specific, sensory picture of a life you want to experience, written in the present tense, tested against your values, signed by your future self.
Strategy
Turn the dream into a real plan.
This is where the dreamy work meets calendars, money, energy budgets, and trade-offs. We help you design the next 90 days, the next year, and the brave moves you keep avoiding.
Intentional Living
Build the daily systems that help you stay yourself.
This is where you start living on your terms, where your vision becomes a reality one little experiment and one little system at a time.
What we cover:
So, the real question is:
"Do you know yourself well enough to know what you're designing your life for?"
IKIGLOO's method walks you through self-knowledge, life context, vision, strategy, and daily practice (intentional living). At every stage, you build the pieces that become your shelter: the tools, the clarity, and the self-awareness you need to design a life that actually fits and supports your life's unique story.
The Method
The examined life, in five stages
So what's next?
A life design planner.
For the days you want to stay on your own path.
Through the life design method, you start composing your life rather than just reacting to it. That's how you move from a life that happens to you, to a life designed by you.
If you've done the method and would like to have a physical planner that you can touch and feel on your intentional living journey, we can deliver that, too.
Experimentalists
Club
A playground for curious adults.
Imagine a community for the kind of people who have 14 interests and refuse to pick one. We try things, build things, and learn from each other's experiments. Think of it as a lab for your life, run by the people inside it.

Why Your Life Can Look Completely Fine and Still Feel Wrong
I spent seven years in a job that stopped making sense to me after about three. Which is a strange thing to admit, because it took me another two years to understand why - and then another two to convince myself that it's time to leave.
10 Life-Changing Tactics That Helped Me Build a Happier Life
I won't sugarcoat it. There have been many times in my life when I felt completely lost, questioning the purpose of my existence and the worth of my efforts. These feelings showed up early - spurred by the flaws and quiet cruelties I observed in the world around me.
How to Use The Wheel of Life to Bring More Balance & Fulfilment into Your Life
Think about your life for a minute. Does it feel somewhat off? Are you crushing it at work, but your relationships seem to experience constant problems?
Freedom
We believe everyone should be able to live on their own terms. We help people reclaim their sense of agency and build a life that feels truly theirs.
Our values
Authenticity
We encourage radical self-awareness and identity clarity so you can walk your own path, instead of just following what's expected of you.
Meaning
We care about how many things on your to-do list actually matter to you. Your life should be about becoming "more yourself" in the world, instead of becoming "more fit" for the system.
Peace of Mind
The world is chaotic and you need a shelter built by your own hands. Life design should be driven by peace of mind, where your inner world meets your outer work.
Experimentation
You create your meaning by engaging in small life experiments and having an iterative mindset. We encourage you to test before you fully commit.
Intentionality
We believe in structures and systems, but only the ones that serve you. Intentionality is about composing the world around you in a way that fits you.
