Slingshot Designs® is an ethos-driven education, collaboration, and innovation practice grounded in Michigan.

We design and steward human-centric environments where learning, leadership, and continuity emerge through demonstration rather than instruction. Our work integrates art, applied scientific thinking, and lived experience to change conditions so people can recognize themselves, practice self-leadership, and participate in community without extraction or coercion.

Slingshot Designs does not sell programs or prescribe outcomes.
We create environments—physical, relational, and cultural—where discernment, responsibility, and connection arise naturally.

Purpose
To empower people through education, collaboration, and innovation by changing conditions rather than controlling behavior.

How the work appears

• community gatherings
• workshops and retreats
• shared meals and making
• writing, art, and storytelling
• lived demonstration in real places

The work is grounded, place-based, and built to last.
