how human design crystallised my genius

The Story Well

I always knew I loved strategy.
I just didn’t realise how deeply it shaped everything about me… Until Human Design gave me the language.

Growing up, I’d spend long afternoons playing card games with my grandparents.
It wasn’t just fun, it was about thinking ahead.
Reading patterns. Anticipating moves.
And without knowing it, I was training one of my core gifts.

My Chart has the Incarnation Cross of Strategy.

Looking back, every career path I’ve chosen from brand strategy to healing work to coaching, has honoured this.

Strategic thinking is not just a skill for me. It’s a huge part of my purpose.

Gate 59 + Gate 16: Intimacy + Enthusiasm

My strongest gates are clear reflections of how I’m designed to serve:

  • Gate 59: Creating deep, honest intimacy with others

  • Gate 16: The gate of enthusiasm and expressive skill

Human Design helped me realise why I’ve always needed to communicate what lights me up.
When I’m on fire about something, I want to share it.
But when the enthusiasm fades, so does my energy.
That’s not inconsistency. That’s design.

Gate 53: Pressure to Evolve

This is my only gate in a pressure center and it explains so much.
I’m not designed to stay still.

Moving forward in life isn’t just a desire. It’s a must.
When I’m evolving, I feel fulfilled.
When I’m not, I feel stagnant, even anxious.

Gate 9: Focus with Purpose

Gate 9 is part of my Incarnation Cross, and it gives me the power to deeply focus, but only when my energy is aimed toward something meaningful.

If I’m not clear on where I’m going, my focus becomes chaotic.
It’s like having a brilliant puppy:
If I don’t give it something to work on it’ll grab whatever shoe it finds.

4/1 Profile: the Oak Tree

This is the part of me that clients often describe as “calming,” “grounding,” or “solid.”
As a 4/1, I feel like a stable oak tree - rooted, reliable, not easily swayed by emotional chaos around me.
And with 7 of 9 centres undefined, I’m also highly open, intuitive, and receptive.
I can mirror what’s going on in someone’s world with uncanny clarity, because I’m built to be permeable and precise.

Human Design gave me the language to own my strengths, and the structure to build a business around it.
