Most lives are inherited.
Yours doesn't have to be.
IKIGLOO is life design for people with too many lives inside them. A free method, a physical planner, and a community of experimentalists - for anyone who refuses to choose just one version of themselves.
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 19, having a life that happened to them rather than one they designed. But some people have the opposite problem: too many possible lives, all of them real, none of them chosen.
IKIGLOO is for the second kind. The ones who need to figure out who they actually are before they can figure out what to build - one little exercise and one little experiment at a time.
The 5-stage method that helps multi-passionate people stop circling and start building - a life that holds all facets of you.
Before you can design your life, you need to know which one you're actually trying to build.
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.
Daily Practice
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:
"Do you know yourself well enough to know what you're designing your life for?"
The method walks you through five stages: self-knowledge, life context, vision, strategy, and daily practice. At every stage, you build something real — the clarity, the tools, and the plans you need to design a life that fits who you actually are.
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.
You've done the thinking. Now you need a place to put it. The IKIGLOO planner holds your identity work, your goals, your experiments, and your daily practice in one book. Designed for 6 months. Undated, so you start when you're ready.
Experimentalists
Club
A PLACE FOR CURIOUS ADULTS
A community for the kind of people who have 14 interests, 3 career ideas, and a bucket list of things to do that just keeps growing. 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.

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.
