Bring your vision to life

Zahler Design is dedicated to creating a more vibrant world with you. Using design and serious play, we’ll chart a course through ambiguity. We will create a culture of collaboration through a rigorous (but fun!) design practice.

I envision a world where organizations harness joy, delight, and craftsmanship in day-to-day processes as an engine to power greater impact.

Design Process and Approach

Imagine feeling like someone really gets your vision for a brighter world and the messy challenges to address.

Zahler Design is a collaborative partner. I first listen deeply to understand your goals, then map the path forward to results in tangible and measurable steps.

Using human-centered design and a multi-disciplinary approach, together we will create the conditions for inventive solutions you and your team will take pride and ownership in maintaining.

Human-centered design focuses on including those affected by a challenge in creating the solution using proven design techniques to guide the process.
Nothing happens in a vacuum. Understanding how relationships and environments interact within a system enables more effective interventions.
Serious play provides a framework to accelerate learning and support effective decision-making while simultaneously reducing risk and building relationships. Far from fluff … incorporating joy creates better results!
