DESIGN IS POWER.
The Design Thinking process we use at Darte was first coined in 1969 by MIT professor Herbert Simon after years of programming the first A.I. models to problem-solve the way we humans do (or should, anyway).
In this Masterclass, we set out to re-calibrate our approach as leaders so we may gain the most transformational value from these elemental yet terribly over-looked simple 5 steps:
-
EMPATHIZE – Get to the root cause of your pain points
-
DEFINE – Get clear on what’s blocking you & transmute
-
IDEATE – Activate your Kundalini, create new possibilities
-
PROTOTYPE – Build hands-on, testable solutions
-
TEST – Apply, learn, and iterate. Rest and repeat.
ANCIENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE MODERN DAY LEADER
Dissect the root causes,
Awaken your power,
Create transformative solutions that last.
But for these innovative solutions to stick, we must go deep into the root causes of our blockages, our limitations, and shift the energy around these in order to transmute and transform what's possible.
For this, we turn to ancient technologies, some 3,000 years old, some 300,000 years old. Together, we'll learn to leverage:
-
Breathwork
-
Kundalini Yoga
-
Somatic Intelligence
-
Energy Meridians
-
Creative Confidence Techniques
-
Natural Language Programming
-
Regenerative Ecosystem Design Principles
-
Permaculture Principles,
-
Transformative Design Leadership Principles, and more.
Throughout our process, we become clear on the "right" problem to solve, our vision for what's possible, and the value proposition to ourselves and our surroundings— from product teams to family systems to relationship partners.
The possibilities shift into clear focus, and the ideas for how to get there flow with ease. Now we strategize how to break it down and make it possible—
-
What are our Most Critical Questions so that we may design our Minimum Viable Prototype?
-
What can we prototype to know that our solution is working to meet our root-level needs?
-
How Might We test this?
-
Now, can you show me, not just tell me?
Great.
Now, at a systems level—
What can we add so the solution is Regenerative:
Longer lasting, higher impact, and greatly desired?
Ahhh, Yes!
Now THAT'S something.
Experience the Power of Design and what it can do for you as a leader— at work, at home, and in your love life.
Be the first to bring these tools to your teams and families.
You'll never see the world the same way.

who?
entrepreneurs, creators, opportunity seekers, change makers, lifelong learners, trailblazers.
this one's for you.
BUSINESS innovators
With these tools we've personally helped the C-suite of a Fortune 500, community activists fighting police brutality, and start-up founders with families to care for— to name a few.
Can't reach your business goals, keep up with the competition, or figure out how to engage your key users and stakeholders? Perhaps you know you need to install systems with new ways of working but can't get your teams aligned? Be the first in your team to introduce these elegant, true, and tried disruptive design techniques from Design Thinking and beyond.
This is your gift to sit down, look at the horizon of opportunity ahead, and move swiftly and strategically. Fewer band-aid solutions. More designing. More meeting user needs with market demand and technology feasibility. And no more wasting precious time and resources without proper prototyping and testing.
AGILE INDIVIDUALS
Use Darte's tools to navigate a new world of possibilities. We'll leverage Design Your Life techniques with Creative Confidence principles and add a touch of ancient technologies adapted for your modern day regimen that will enable you to design your next career path or at-home system that eases you to the next global crisis and beyond.
EAGER lifelong learners & LEADERS
From your work life to your home life to your love life— you know it's time to level up. And you know it can be exhausting. Before you run out of steam, you'll get to the bottom of what's in your way, get unstuck, and strategize what to prototype so you can have lasting change that is regenerative— it just keeps on giving. Be the first to bring these tools to your teams and families— they'll thank you, and your worlds will never be the same.
what?
an MIT-born process for innovation—
unearth fresh new ideas, viable business opportunities, and the tools to do it again yourself.
empathy + storytelling
Walk before you run. Listen before you (design) sprint.
As much as we want to believe we're experts and know what everyone needs, we're not. Learn key listening skills to build empathy from users that need your help or clients that need your company to act for them.
idea creation (with problem identification)
Ideas are cheap. Don't waste your time and resources during these scarce times. Put the hard work upfront and let Darte help you identify the right problem so we can make sure to solve the right problem.
PROTOTYPE
Let Darte help you find: What is your Most Critical Question? What is the minimum you need to do to test your idea? How can you strategically communicate to learn more and have users guide YOU?
OK. Cool. Now—
Can you show me your idea? In 3D? Can you build it out of your materials at home? What can you use from the recycling bin or the donation pile?
Get ready to inaugurate your own prototyping studio at home.
testing + Consulting
Testing your idea, learning from your user feedback, re-imagining your next steps. Design is all about iteration: what stays and what goes? What is the next strategic move to grow your idea? Peer-based problem-solving means there is always someone looking out for you from another perspective. That's good. You want that at this stage, believe it or not. An idea is *always* ready for feedback (it could just be *more* ready..

Jess Artiles
Jessica Artiles knows it well:
Design is Power.
As the Founder and Chief Design Officer of Darte Design, she coaches and co-creates with businesses and change-makers on how to use design-based approaches to increase the impact of their ideas and their leadership.
At Darte, her signature approach bridges ancient technologies with modern A.I. through Design Thinking—the structured problem-solving process that inspired the earliest A.I. programs in the 1950's— in order to dissect root causes, awaken her clients' inner power, and design their [work / home / love] life, systemically.
Her Design-Empowered Leadership models focus on a ∏-based, or two-pronged approach—at once analytical and creative; at once logical and intuitive— and go on to integrate ancient technologies like breath work and kundalini activations to leverage your intuition, especially in the workplace!
Jess believes everyone is born thinking like a designer— she just helps you shake off the dust and stretch back into it.
During her Master’s Thesis at MIT she invented The DesignShop, a process to shorten the time by which someone begins to think and problem-solve like a designer, and then traveled to 11+ countries spreading Design Thinking to organizations of all scales and sparking transformational, user-centered solutions.
Now, she's turned her curiosity towards learning from the ancient technologies and regenerative principles that we've been leveraging for 3,000 or 300,000 years.
Jess combines her MIT systems engineering problem-solving approaches with her Reiki Healing and Kundalini Yoga Teaching certifications to re-awaken her clients' creativity and empowerment centers to create custom, regenerative solutions that resonate with them at work, at home, and in their love life.
Jessica was named one of Boston’s Latino 30 Under 30 in recognition as a “Most Influential Leader,” is a fellow at the Royal Society of Art, and the founder of the MIT OpenMind::OpenArt gallery on the future of mental health and wellness.
When she's not working you can find her by the water, putting the art in Artiles, brainstorming the future of the human condition, and playing with her Sheltie, Chuli (she's truly a good girl!).
