WHY WE EXIST

Extractive designs are depleting. We believe that a new era of conscious creativity is required to recalibrate the why, how, and what we create. With ‘new eyes’, we could literally rewire how we perceive, think, imagine, and make things.

WHY PSYCHEDELICS & DESIGN

In a world where some ways of making have fuelled crisis—and where our connection to nature has markedly eroded—we ask how to channel psychedelic insight and creative energy into form, bringing forth futures worth living in.

We hope to contribute in shaping futures that are more regenerative, imaginative, and humane, through communication and experimentation. Our global community of makers and thinkers is pioneering a next-generation conscious creative movement.

CONTRIBUTE TO RESEARCH

Psychedelics and the Creative Process

What would happen, if we create from an altered state?

We conducted the first design study on how psychedelics shape the creative process—examining their influence on design-specific problem solving, creativity, and mindset. The survey offered an invitation: to glimpse how psychedelic-informed thinking might flow into strategies, products, and experiences.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Pre Sale Tickets

The Annual Psychedelics Design Conference brings together the global community of creatives, researchers, and visionaries exploring the intersection of altered states and culture.

ASPIRATION

We aspire to be a catalyst for a regenerative future where psychedelic- inspired creativity is a powerful driver for positive change.

  • "As someone deeply immersed in the world of psychedelic research, I believe Psychedelics Design is doing something special. It’s making the connection between design and the psychedelic experience feel natural and useful. Alex is building a space where creativity and wellness come together in a way that feels grounded."

    Floris Wolswijk
    Founder of Blossom

  • “The real beauty of what we are doing here is exploring these open-ended inquiries together. Psychedelics and design play an integral role in rethinking how we approach the polycrisis we face as humanity. Both invite us to think more deeply—to become drivers rather than passengers. Each offers tools for reframing complexity, opening perception, and cultivating the imagination needed to shape more regenerative futures.”

    Dennis Walker
    Founder of Mycopreneur

  • "Psychedelics Design explores the intersection of design and function, observing their impact on psych-delics and vice versa. It aims to highlight the fusion of psychedelics with innovative and forward-thinking design principles."

    Psychedelics Today

  • "Psychedelics Design is a community that aims to innovate and nurture new pathways to creativity and design, but through the lens of psychedelics. My business, Talent Think Innovations, sponsored the 2024 December Conference. I am impressed with Alexandra's passion for taking psychedelics beyond something trendy into something we can hopefully apply both personally and professionally.”

    Janine Nicole Dennis
    Founder Talent Think Innovations

  • "This conference will bridge art, science, design, and engineering to explore the potentials of psychedelics through a design lens to benefit people, society, and the planet. It aims to share groundbreaking findings, connect with likeminded individuals, and build a collaborative and genuine community."
