Welcome to Life by Design

Life by Design Overview

Life by Design is a nonprofit organization located in Southern California with the mission of providing strategic resources on your God given purpose, moving from success to significance by adding value to others and servant leadership.

Sailboats symbolize journey and adventure. Our faith is our great adventure, a risk of belief when we trust what we do not see and the wind represents the power of the Holy Spirit.

God has a game plan for us to execute. Many times He navigates us through this process of discovering His will through His Word, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, validated in prayer and with the support of a loving community.

If you experience a Life by Design event, chances are you will be encouraged and equipped to discover and develop your God-given and personal purpose and you will learn what it truly means to Love God and Love People.   Our workshops and Mastermind groups are interactive, and we facilitate a personalized group coaching process that provides ideas, stories and self-assessment tools to help people make God the center point for their life.


Have you discovered your purpose or are you in a season of re-purposing your life?   When God awakens His purpose in your heart, you won’t be able to let it go, you will pursue it until it has been fulfilled.  Life by Design features a proven process designed to help you discover, define and live out your vision along with your God given and personal purpose, passion and potential and to gain a new perspective on your life.

“New Series” Bridges- Navigating transitions in your life and leadership

Bridge definition – A connecting, transitional or immediate route or phase between two adjacent elements, activities, or conditions.  PART ONE: Bridges to burn.  (Letting go, purging, ridding, concluding, season to say goodbye to). PART TWO: Bridges to cross.  (Getting past what was, looking ahead to tomorrow and its promise.  Dropping hindrances that among us, concluding a season by pursing another).  PART THREE: Bridges to build.  (New vision, exciting opportunity, season of growth and discovery, a new thoroughfare in which to operate out or, a connective vision that leads to higher ground and embraced opportunity).
