From emergent possibilities to living outcomes.
Emergent Living is an evolving design practice and long-term investigation led by Jeremiah Tesolin. It explores how we make sense of complexity and how design can shape new ways of living, learning, and working.
Currently on contract with UNICEF’s Global Learning Innovation Hub, Jeremiah brings this approach to systems change, public innovation, and strategic design. The practice connects research, visual expression, and collaboration to turn possibility into clarity and ideas into outcomes.
What Emergent Living is about:
Emergent Living is a design practice that investigates how we make sense of complexity and move from uncertainty to clarity. It brings together thoughtful design, collaboration, and systems awareness to create outcomes that are grounded, adaptable, and meaningful.
- Sense-making for clarity: Breaking down complex challenges to uncover patterns, insights, and ways forward.
- Visual communication: Using design to make ideas visible, shareable, and easier to act on.
- Workshops and facilitation: Creating space for dialogue, alignment, and co-creation by turning participation into progress.
- Programmes and portfolios: Shaping initiatives that hold vision and structure, guiding work across time and context.
Why Emergent Living?
Emergent Living is about designing for what comes next. “Emergent” reflects the opportunities and tensions that are always unfolding. “Living” speaks to the systems, environments, and practices that shape how we work, learn, and grow.
It is a practice focused on helping organisations find clarity in complexity. By making ideas visible, aligning people around purpose, and designing tools for action, Emergent Living supports meaningful progress through solutions that are grounded, adaptive, and future facing.
