My Human Design Story
My Human Design Story
If you have never heard of Human Design, you are not alone. It’s a question I get asked all the time.In my own practice, I’ve found that only a handful of people have encountered it before. Even then, the landscape can be confusing. I had clients telling me they bought Human Design books, but couldn't make sense of them. Two clients even purchased a 50-page computer report online and were left puzzled.This journal post is the story of how I found this treasure map and what it truly means to learn to read it.
The Lifelong Search
The Lifelong Search
I have always been a searcher, looking for tools to help me understand myself better. I explored astrology, both Western and Chinese. Yeah, I downloaded some free reports online. I would read them and see a small piece of myself. But the picture was always blurry and incomplete. It was like an itch on my back that I could never quite reach.I had a rewarding career as a university lecturer in London. To my friends and family in Taiwan, my life seemed exotic and comfortable. And I truly love teaching. Yet even with a life that looked successful, deep down I often felt insecure, like I didn't quite fit.
The Day I Met Human Design
The Day I Met Human Design
In 2014, on a random afternoon, I stumbled upon a blog post about Human Design. I was instantly curious. How had I never heard of this before? I googled and generated my free chart. There wasn't much information available back then, so I carried on with my life.Two years later, it re-entered my world. This time, I went all in. I read every book I could find, in both Chinese and in English. I even ordered a book that was only available in the USA and asked my dear friend, Dr Jiajia Liu, to bring it back after a conference she was attending. (Thank you so much, Jiajia. It was a useful book and a true act of friendship!)This time, it felt different. The words on the page resonated with some feelings I had buried deep inside. After six months of self-study, I knew this wasn't a scam. I gave myself a birthday present: my first professional Human Design reading.Even though I already knew a lot, the session with the Analyst was truly life-changing. For the first time, I felt understood! I found answers I had been searching for.
How My Journey Informs My Practice
How My Journey Informs My Practice
Years later, after completing my own intensive training, I became a certified Human Design Analyst. My greatest joy now comes from helping my clients feel that same sense of clarity.
- You Are Not 'Weird': I often show clients that the 'eccentric' parts of themselves are actually normal for their unique design. Their sense of relief is instant and tangible.
- Speaking Your Language: Thanks to my lecturing experience, I use everyday words to explain charts. My goal is to awaken your own understanding of yourself.
- A Safe Space: My work is to create a space for deep and confidential conversation. 'Feeling seen and understood' and 'knowing how to move forward' are the most common feedback I receive from clients.
The Analyst vs. The Algorithm
The Analyst vs. The Algorithm
Today, you can get your chart instantly. AI tools like ChatGPT are shaking up how we explore everything. I even saw a TikToker teaching people prompts to ask an AI about their Human Design chart. These tools can be useful for looking up definitions.But a map is only useful if you know how to read it. This is where a human guide becomes important. Which path is the right one for you: an analyst, a report or AI? It depends on the depth of experiences and personalisation you are seeking.
Here are 4 major differences:
Here are 4 major differences:
- A Cohesive Story, Not Fragmented Data
- Personalised Guidance, Not Generic Reports
- Human Connection, Not a Machine
- Ongoing Support, Not a Single Transaction
Ultimately, the path you choose is yours.

To help you decide, I have created a comparison table. It highlights the differences in the depth of analysis, the level of personalisation, and the overall experience you will receive from each approach.
