If you could design your own death, what would the experience be like, and how would you want it to feel? I'm not a health care professional and I'm not an inventor of science. I'm a brand designer that creates experiences by connecting with human emotion. What I know from my mom's experience is that it gave us the tools to talk about death. By sharing her story with friends and strangers, I've learned there is a lot of curiosity behind this. By having the conversation, it helps us to perhaps reframe or even rebrand death from feeling scary or desolate or bleak to re-imagining it as honest, noble and brave.
