Dear reader,

YOU ARE COURAGEOUS!

If you are reading this book, it means that you want to be


the designer of your own life; that you are interested in
thinking about your life proactively; that you have things
to explore and changes you want to make creatively.

This book is for anyone who, like me, thinks that your life
is your most important project. It does not require that you
have any design or creative experience, just the desire to
explore your life from a new point of view and to learn
to think like a designer.

Welcome to designing the life you love.

ABOUT DESIGN THE
LIFE YOU LOVE

Design the Life You Love started as an experiment. I had just


finished putting my creative process on paper, as a tool to
share with my team at Birsel + Seck, the design studio I lead
with my husband, Bibi Seck, in New York, and our clients. But
first I needed a test project. What better testing ground
than my own life, something I have come to consider as my
biggest project? I first shared it with my friends, whove
helped me to fine-tune the steps and given me the confidence
to go do it. Then I did my first workshop. And things started
to grow from there. Which brings us to this book youre holding
in your hands!

Design the Life You Love is the intersection of my design process,
Deconstruction:Reconstruction, and my biggest project, my life.
