Life-Centered Design School

“When we discovered Life-Centered Design in 2020, it transformed our lives, and we knew we had to share it with the world. After years of research, interviews, and deep exploration of the methodology and nature, we created this beautiful space where our growing community of passionate professionals learn together and shares their experiences”
- Jeroen Spoelstra & Marce Xirinachs


Life-centered design (LCD) is an actionable design approach that gives designers and other creatives the mindset, opportunity, and ability to include all life forms in their work and advocate for biological ecosystems and invisible communities. LCD transitions from creating value for the end user and shareholders to adding value for nature, communities, and the economy.

Non-Human Personas

Impact Mapping Strategies

Together with our community we created more then

250 Non-human personas

Non-human personas are a way to foster an emotional connection with nature and non-human entities through scientific research, creativity, and imagination. They help us understand the needs and perspectives of non-human actants and create designs that reflect their realities.

We help you make positive impact for nature, communities & organisations.

The better you understand your ecosystem, the better you understand the impact you have with your new product, service and value proposition. Our impact mapping method is a key element of our Life-Centered Design approach.
