Boundaries as Design: Supporting Yourself So You Can Support Others

​About
This workshop invites research, design, and strategy professionals to rethink boundaries. Boundaries are not rigid rules or personal shortcomings, but a design practice- one that can be prototyped, refined, and strengthened over time.

​Many practitioners experience fear around setting limits: fear of being seen as difficult, of losing work, of being laid off, or of letting others down. This workshop acknowledges the real constraints of professional roles while centering a critical question: Are we meeting the needs of the people we want to serve, when the person we need to serve first is ourselves?

​What You'll Leave With
Using design metaphors (creative briefs, wireframes, recipes, AI prompts), real-world examples, and interactive practice, participants will develop clearer, more sustainable boundaries around time, energy, communication, and responsibility.
