What do women say about their DYL experience?
WHY PEOPLE LOVE US
DYL for women is a safe space for women to design their next chapter. The facilitators shared their expertise and their stories which made it easy to connect with each other. I am inspired by the energy that women generate when they see, hold and support each other.
“The DYL approach and the tools it provides to build a way forward are really empowering. The course and community it created were energizing and fun and made me feel very optimistic about my ability to design my own future, drawing on designer mindsets like prototyping and radical collaboration.”
