Let’s create change together.

What you’ll find inside the Membership Community

Wellbeing Sessions: 30min sessions focused on wellbeing and ways of working with check-ins to help build new habits.

Replay Library: Video library to catch the replays if you can’t make the live sessions which will grow as the community does.

Supportive Community: A place to engage with like-minded designers and support each other on your wellbeing journeys.

Why prioritise wellbeing?

The design industry is a stressful environment with long hours to meet tight deadlines. Often the simplest of wellbeing practices get overlooked putting a strain on designers’ mental and physical health. By raising awareness around mental health and wellbeing we can create healthier workplaces for designers to thrive.

Kind Words:

“I attended one of Kaye’s wellbeing workshops at the Workplace Design Show and really enjoyed it! What Kaye covered is so important – it’s the type of thing I feel should be compulsory for everyone. Thank you, it was great and keep sharing what you do!”

-Hazel Needham – Marketing Executive & Content Writer

Isn’t now the time?

The health and wellbeing of employees have never been more important. We now have a real opportunity to explore how we can optimise our wellbeing so we can improve how we’re working.

Educating your employees about healthy food and lifestyle choices, stress reduction, exercise and ways to increase their energy will not only improve their health and overall happiness. But will also allow your employees to understand the true benefits prioritising their health can have on their work and lives. Creating a work culture where wellbeing is at its core and preventative rather than an add-on.

Organisational benefits

By providing wellbeing coaching your organisation will experience:

  • Reduced absenteeism & presenteeism
  • Increased productivity
  • Increased employee morale
  • Enhanced workplace culture
  • Attract more talented employees
  • Experience less turnover
  • Improved employee experience

Hiring a Health Coach for your company is a cost-effective solution to improve employee health and morale while decreasing your organisation’s health-related costs. By working with a Health Coach, employees will learn how to make healthier lifestyle choices, improving their physical and mental wellbeing. In return, your organisation will see an increase in employee engagement and productivity, and a decrease in employee stress and absenteeism.

Who am I?

I’m Kaye, an Interior Designer, Holistic Health Coach and Founder of Designers Mind.

My mission is to create healthier workplaces for designers to thrive. I’m championing change in the industry aiming to improve mindsets around wellbeing.

I’ll be leading your monthly sessions and cannot wait to go on this wellness journey with you.

Why I created the Academy

“My own experience with burnout led me to found Designers Mind, a community that raises awareness about the mental health & wellbeing of designers in the workplace through sharing, talks and workshops.

Designers Mind Academy feels like the natural next step to take this community from talking and raising awareness to true transformation and change.

My goal with the Academy is to work with organisations and individuals as a supportive coach & mentor to help them develop practices that enhance their wellbeing. Shifting mindsets and behaviours towards healthier habits so they can create sustainable lifestyle changes, a sense of balance in their hectic lives, increase their energy and reduce overwhelm and burnout.”
