Can I Tell You a Secret?

Have you been feeling the itch to shake things up in your life lately? Looking around, craving something that will invite you to step across a threshold into a new phase of your creative life or catalyze a shift in your work identity?

We have a secret about the Experience Design Certificate Program, which is that you come in expecting a class, but really it’s your own Odyssey. Sure, we get together every week to teach you concepts, and yes, there’s homework assignments. But what we’ve seen across the board with our first two cohorts is that once they absorb the principles of experience design, they show up differently. Not just in their professional life, or their creative practice, but in relationships, parenting, vacations, daily habits, therapy, parties they throw, friendship…It’s a whole life reset and redesign because the people in the Experience Design Certificate Program don’t just want to think outside the box, they want to break the box.

There’s something magic about setting aside time and space for this program. EDCP gives you permission to dive into that project that you’ve wanted to do for years but can’t find a space for amidst a packed schedule. It’s permission to travel to see that art installation you’ve been in awe of for decades, or to interview your heroes for your Lived Research. It’s permission to shed the expectations other people have imposed for years about how you should make your work. And if you feel stuck, you’ve got a cohort of 15 brilliant radical people to help you work it out and talk it through until you have a breakthrough.

So what are you waiting for? What do you need permission for to do next?
