The Studio The Retreat Coaching Say Hello!

Catalytic Coaching

Intentional experience design support for visionaries, creatives & teams

let's make something exceptional

This is a space for you (or your team) to think out loud, move with clarity, and create what’s next— without rushing the process or diluting the vision.

Whether you’re building something new, navigating a personal or organizational pivot, or holding the emotional and strategic weight of leadership, I’ll meet you there.

Together, we’ll set clear intentions for our time, and I’ll bring my full energy to support you: coaching, consulting, co-creating, and imagining alongside you.

Let's manifest some experiential magic.  

 Bring your work, your ideas, your leadership—or all of the above.

Individual coaching sessions available a la carte and in 3-month packages

supporting a team? 

You can also purchase a shared coaching pack for your organization—perfect for giving your people a dedicated space to expand the edges of whatever they are building, grow their experience design skills, and lead with more intention and ease.

These flexible hours can be used across your team for individual or small group sessions.

Let’s dream up something beautiful (and wildly useful)—together.

hi, I'm Olivia Vagelos

I'm an an Experience Designer and Community Strategist, and the founder of The Design for Feelings Studio.

Before launching Design for Feelings, I was at IDEO, housed inside their online school, IDEO U, and the Play Lab. While there I helped start both the Experiential Design and Community Design disciplines and define the future of creative online learning. Prior to IDEO, I was designing and facilitating programs at the Stanford Design School and with The Hewlett Foundation. 

I've worked with CEOs and community activitists, magicians and marketing directors, and I've had past clients at multi-billion dollar entertainment companies and small community-based non-profits.

Over the years I've taught and lectured at the Stanford d.School, Stanford LEAD, Santa Monica College, Columbia Medical School, and Georgetown.

And I'm here to lend you my divergent, framework-obsessed, eternally curious brain.

"I’m obsessed with building soft spaces for wild, collective imagination. 

I nerd out on crafting rituals, connecting strangers, manipulating spacetime, and immersive, multi-sensory experience design.

I hold a strong belief that laughter and beautiful questions build the most extraordinary things.

I see storybuilding as an architectural craft, and I’m constantly seeking ways to be in conversation with land and place.

And I have learned that we should never move so fast that we can't slow down to listen more deeply."
