✨design for feelings✨
a gentle gathering for expanding our multi-sensory emotional vocabularies
a 1-hour virtual workshop with Olivia Vagelos and The Design for Feelings Studio
next session:
date to be announced
each session begins with a specific feeling
We’ll wander —
through sound, sight, texture, taste —
collecting the things that make us feel that way.
Then, together, we’ll unpack the layers.
Name the unnamed.
And leave with a small library of images, sounds, and sensations to draw from long after we part.
🌘 What to expect 🌘
Slow time, space for soft conversations, no pressure to produce anything finished or good.
📝 What to bring 📝
Only yourself, (on time so we can start together), from a computer. No preparation needed.
how folks leave feeling...

about Olivia Vagelos and the Studio
Hi, I'm Olivia.
I'm an experience designer, facilitator, and the founder of The Design for Feelings Studio. Previous to studio life, I was a long time IDEO’er and Stanford d.school’er.
I create spaces for people to find the strange-beautiful parts of themselves that have been left behind, to imagine and move differently, and to meet one another in new ways — all through immersive workshops, interactive events, and multi-sensory experiences.
My work blends story, behavioral psychology, architecture, learning, and play to design interactions and experiences that change us.
I love helping people make whatever they’re making more memorable, more meaningful, more beautiful, and more chaotically and curiously weird.
The robots may be here, but that means we need wild-wild-humaning more than ever.
