Event Details

Create a clear, user-friendly home and life, especially for lateral thinkers and creatives, with better things to do than tidy up. If you are someone who gets inspired by the simple elegance found in Japanese culture, Aikido, Apple design or Muji, you should be here.

If you get uninspired by the overwhelming list of things to do, objects to manage, and no time to do them, you should be here too.

Our special guest is Ben Crothers, former Lead Design Strategist of Atlassian. Ben will share stories of the basic values that make teams so innovative and productive at this 'Workplace of the Year', year after year. 

Learn take-home design principles that will come to mind right when you need them, help you make good decisions, and become successful in the skills of the share economy.  These design principles are borrowed from Australia's Bill Mollison, the maverick biologist-philosopher and whole-system design thinker.  

'The only effort should be in the maintaining of effortlessness'  


Stories from Cecilia's work include:
- How Mrs Asaba turned her home into a 'Cubby House for Adults, with a children's art school, cafe-garden, and year-round festivals.
- Jiyugaku-en self-reliant boarding school, by Frank Lloyd Wright
- Sharable home transformations
and more.

The event is interactive, so you can meet new friends and collaborators. There are give-aways, prizes and opportunities for more learning and creative projects. 

Go home with a clear, do-able vision, and the desire to carry it though. Expect results that surprise and delight.
