The Heart of Design Value Proposition
Serve spiritually grounded professionals, creatives, and aspiring entrepreneurial (Global Urban Muslims who are Educated and English Speaking).
Seeking deeper spiritual alignment and fulfilment in their work and life journey.
By Designing The Heart of Design book and platform featuring practical guidance, inspiring holistic success stories and like-hearted communities.
To Transform their outlook with a heart-centered designer mindset at the intersection of spirituality, creativity & entrepreneurship.
Guided by seven design principles and seven spiritual aspirations distilled from my twenty-year journey as a Muslim, designer, and entrepreneur.
Unlike most mainstream business and design resources, this approach embraces faith-based concepts and examples from personal and professional experiences.
Because my amanah is to share and teach what I’ve learned in service to a movement of emerging leaders exploring their creative and entrepreneurial potential to build meaningful products and startups that design for remembrance in an age of design for distraction.
Project Showcase
Rehan completed the program in 2020 and has since launched his company HalalStocks.co. His company has good traction, real users and has received great feedback from his community.
He was very specific with his Heart-Centered Design Canvas and provided lots of information. The more specific you can be with your Heart-Centered Design Canvas the better as your business becomes clearer. His transformation that delivered the unique experiences showed his beautiful intention for his community. It helped carry the value throughout his business. Rehan's canvas is a very good example of how the Heart-Centred Design Canvas can be used to bring value to your business and your community.
