With Design the Life You Love, designer Ayse Birsel brings her creative process, Deconstruction:Reconstruction™, to show how to think about life with imagination - in a book, online workshop and online tea time conversations. She uses metaphors to help you think about your viewpoint on life, playfully, and connects you to inspiration through your heroes and role models to help you align yourself w

If this season feels too full, this newsletter is for you. Link in bio.

With love,
