Product Description
by Rachel Jones (Author)
This book explores design as the convergence of curiosity, creativity, and strategy-a practical and magical toolkit for personal and collective transformation. Through essays, poems, rituals, meditations, field notes, and hands-on prompts, the author shows how design can be practiced far beyond studios, job titles, or professional credentials.
Grounded in lived experience across four continents, from care farms in England to trafficking prevention programs in the Philippines to social design leadership in international NGOs, the book weaves together personal story and professional practice. It invites readers to reclaim their innate creativity, reconnect with curiosity, and develop strategies that turn ideas into action-whether at work, at home, or within themselves.
Written for truth tellers, bridge builders, community weavers, and those longing for a more intentional way of living, this book offers permission to be complex and expansive: the dove and the snake, the rose and the thorn, the fire and the water. You don't need to identify as a designer to belong here. If you are seeking new rhythms, meaningful rituals, and a more designed life-one rooted in imagination, care, and possibility-this book welcomes you.
It is playful and purposeful, grounded and visionary. Above all, it is an invitation: to notice, to imagine, and to create new realities-starting right where you are.
