A co-creation consultancy guiding individuals and organizations to design future possibilities through human-centered prototyping and a Life-Work Innovation perspective.
By blending design methods, advanced technology, and interdisciplinary collaboration, IAxD nurtures conceptual possibilities toward meaningful, tangible realities.
Freshly forming and future-focused, IAxD works at the intersection of academia, industry, community, and personal development to co-create frameworks, processes, products, and environments that are grounded in human insight, responsive to today’s complexities, and regenerative for tomorrow.
Whether co-creating possibility frameworks, advancing innovations in health and technology, fostering innovation by widening on-ramps to ecosystems, or designing user-informed spaces and products, IAxD is committed to building a more interdisciplinary, human-hearted, and healthy today.
Our Offerings
Ex-mersive Retreats
Step out of ordinary time. Our retreats create space to pause, reflect, and reimagine. Rooted in health and well-being, they blend design exercises with contemplative practice, nature immersion, and collective creativity. Alongside these reflective practices, we introduce emerging technologies — AI, digital fabrication, biofabrication — not as distractions, but as fast tools in service of slow, intentional design.
Innovation & Technology Labs
At the core of our work is a belief: emerging technologies are most powerful when aligned with human values. In our labs and workshops, participants explore how AI, biofabrication, 3D printing, and immersive tools can advance health, whole-person care, and ecological responsibility.
Educational Journeys and Curriculum Curation
Learning with IAxD is experiential, adaptive, and human-hearted. We curate and design curricula that weave together design methods, emerging technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration — tailored for universities, professional programs, and organizational learning.
Design Resesarch
IAxD conducts design research at the intersection of health, technology, and human experience. We explore emerging questions, map complex systems, and prototype early-stage ideas to generate insights that inform both practice and policy.
Early-stage Innovation Co-consulting
We partner with individuals, teams, and organizations at the earliest stages of innovation — when ideas are still fluid, fragile, and full of possibility. Through co-consulting, we bring design methods, systems thinking, and fast tools (AI, prototyping, digital fabrication) into dialogue with your vision, helping concepts evolve into meaningful, actionable directions.
Custom Collaborations
Every organization and community faces unique thresholds. We design tailored frameworks, workshops, and interventions that bring together your people, your challenges, and your aspirations.
