Life by Design exists to help people not only find meaning in their own lives, but to leave a lasting legacy of faith that inspires generations to come.

Our purpose is to equip individuals to discover purpose, develop leadership capacity, and live out their faith, so that their influence transforms families, workplaces, and communities and leaves a lasting legacy.
Welcome to Life by Design
Life by Design exists to help individuals live intentionally—discovering purpose, developing potential, and growing in clarity, faith, and direction.
We believe life is not meant to be lived by default, but by design. Each person has been created with unique gifts, passions, and experiences, and when those come into alignment, life begins to make sense in deeper and more meaningful ways.
Our work is centered on personal growth, leadership development, and spiritual formation. Through workshops, group experiences, coaching, and thoughtfully designed resources, we create space for reflection, growth, and transformation. Life by Design is not about information alone—it’s about formation, direction, and taking intentional next steps.
We do this through a team of certified and trained facilitators, trainers, and coaches who share a common commitment to walking alongside individuals with care, wisdom, and integrity. Together, our team creates relational, engaging environments where people are supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow.
Whether you are seeking clarity, navigating a transition, or wanting to live with greater purpose, you don’t have to walk that journey alone.
Bob & Michelle Cavinder
Together, Bob and Michelle bring over a decade of experience serving at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, where they oversaw Men’s Ministry, Women’s Ministry, and the Spiritual Growth Learning Center. During that time, they were deeply involved in leadership development, directing the International Men’s and Women Conferences, discipleship, and the creation of learning environments designed to help individuals grow in faith, purpose, and spiritual maturity. That season played a significant role in shaping the vision and foundation of Life by Design.
Bob also serves as the Director of Training for Life by Design, where he works closely with a team of certified and trained facilitators, trainers, and coaches to develop curriculum, equip leaders, and ensure consistent, high-quality learning experiences across all Life by Design programs. In addition, Bob is a certified trainer, facilitator, and life and leadership coach, with experience across nonprofit, corporate, hospitality, and ministry settings. He is known for his practical, engaging approach to teaching and his ability to help people move from insight to action.
Michelle brings a strong passion for encouragement, connection, and helping people uncover their identity and calling. Her relational leadership style and heart for community are central to the Life by Design experience, creating spaces where people feel supported, valued, and inspired to grow.
Life by Design was founded on the belief that meaningful growth happens when faith, leadership, and everyday life are integrated. Through their work, Bob and Michelle help individuals gain clarity, grow with intention, and live out their calling with purpose.
