I came to this work after years of coaching creatives, holding virtual office hours, and teaching at NYU. To make this work more accessible, I’ve packed my best coaching lessons into a focused e-course, and holistic digital toolkit. This work is aimed to help independent creatives like you (including freelancers, permalancers, multi-passionate entrepreneurs, and consultants) to earn mindfully.

Q+A
-
Once you purchase access to DesignLifeWell™, you get immediate access. You can choose between a monthly or yearly subscription.
-
DesignLifeWell™ is broken down into 6 modules.
You can take it at your own pace, but I generally recommend spending at least one month per module. Sometimes certain sections take more work emotionally, so give yourself time.
You get what you put into it, so the more you apply and implement, the more you’ll get out of the program.
-
No. DesignLifeWell™ is intentionally unaccredited and informal. If you need a certificate of completion, badge, or official course credits, this program is not for you.
Creative Coach
Hi, I’m Tündi, the founder of DesignLifeWell™. I’m a digital design director and certified coach. I’ve worked as a creative for 15 years, over half of which were independent. Throughout the years mentoring creatives, I’ve distilled everything down into a 6-module framework now known as Design Life Well (DLW).
I've spoken to creative students about portfolios to pricing at the Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute, NYU Tisch, SVA, and at CULTUREHUB.
My clients include Google Creative Lab, Google, The Army, Oscars, IBM Watson (AI cognitive division), NBC Universal, The Oscars, Royal Caribbean Innovation Lab, OkCupid, Gucci, Hermes, Diesel, etc.
My work has won a Webby Award (equivalent to an Oscar for the internet) and has been featured in ProductHunt, The Verge, VentureBeat, CNET, VoiceBot.ai, and many other publications and news sources.
I’m also a certified coach in creativity, life, business, and mindfulness. My meditations and affirmations are used by people of all doctrines and backgrounds, and include both secular mindfulness meditations and an option for faith-based affirmations to provide the most equal access to individuals based on their comfort levels.
You’re getting information that’s not theoretical or half-baked, but rather advice from a seasoned pro who’s run a business that’s earned me income, clients, and recognition.
