Message from our Founder

Iyobosa "Bo" Irabor

Journey design is a practice that builds and facilitates the capacity to envision and align to inspired futures. It sets the stage for agency to flourish when challenged by the gap between present circumstances and the future desired for oneself. It is a practice with roots in positive psychology, education for liberation and somatic experiences of transformational equity and equality.

The Journey
Design Difference

Racial trauma was derailing my career. I couldn't articulate a future let alone imagine the one that I have today. I went from being in debt, making 10 dollars an hour to a career as a copywriter with a six figure income. My coach designed a journey that captured my soul's desire, put it into words and broke it down into manageable achievable steps. I was scared out of my mind but for the first time in a long time I felt confident. I knew my coach understood the life I wanted to lead and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to heal my work life and flourish.
