Design / Inhabit is a writing and ideas project about how we shape the parts of life that are ours to change, and live well with the parts that aren't.

​

It explores work, relationships, ageing, ambition, uncertainty and the ordinary business of spending a life – through essays and conversations.

​

Philippa Heal is a writer and creative director with 20 years' experience across advertising and corporate life. She works across creative direction, strategy and writing, helping organisations find clearer ideas, language and direction.

​

Her studies span business, entrepreneurship and applied AI, alongside a longstanding interest in what makes a life work – positive psychology and human development, and, longer-standing still, Stoic, Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, which began early, including time teaching at a Buddhist monastery in Nepal.

​

Design / Inhabit brings those threads together around one question:

​

What needs to be designed – and what needs to be inhabited?
