The Characters

Different ways minds move through the same world - expressed through simple design.

A Way Of Understanding

These characters represent different ways people experience, process, and respond to the world.

They are not definitions of people.

They are representations of processes.

Ways of:

  • focusing
  • organising
  • regulating
  • processing
  • navigating
  • growing

You may recognise parts of yourself in one.

Or across many.

Not Fixed

These ways of experiencing are not fixed.

They move with life.

Sometimes more visible.
sometimes quieter.

Sometimes supportive.
Sometimes challenging.

They remain present - what often changes is:

  • intensity
  • context
  • environment

Ways Minds Work

Each character reflects one part of a broader system - human processes we all share.

These systems shape many parts of how we think, feel, grow, and move through life.

Working Together

They change.

People move between them.
Or experience them at the same time.

From Experience To Design

These characters are expressed through visual design.

Translating ways of experiencing into something visible.
