About
Practices rooted in ease, science, and your body's wisdom.
I'm Quinn O'Briant Heller, MFA, MLA, and I'm here to help you meet life with more joy. I'm a yoga teacher and workshop facilitator from the United States, now based in the Netherlands. My work brings together mindful movement, grounded optimism, and design-led practices for everyday joy.

Workshops
Design for Joy
We're living in joy scarcity: lots of stress, lots of striving, not enough joy. But joy doesn't have to be a happy accident. We can design it: in products, in experiences, and in our lives.
A hands-on workshop for people who care about joy. No fake happiness, just time to reflect, a short talk on design, a joy redesign challenge, and a new micro-joy you'll take back into your work and life.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
Joy Download
What is joy and why don't we have enough of it? We'll explore the neuroscience of joy, what it is, and how to get more of it.
Design Challenge
Decide where you want more joy, then enjoy a fast, friendly design sprint where you'll create a bit of joy.
New Micro-Joy
You'll leave with your own reflections, plans, and micro-joy of your own making to play with.
Joy becomes a filter, a creative constraint, a true north star, turning small moments, rituals, and thresholds into the places where meaning shows up.
Places I've taught, worked & learned
Years of work in design, education, and leadership inform everything I teach.
