I am Barbara Neuhofer.
I am a Professor of Experience Design, a Transformation Coach, Speaker, Trainer, and Co-Founder of the Experience Design Summit Year Zero.
My life’s calling is to spark, empower and guide you on your journey of transformation to unlock your highest Self and purpose in the world.
My name is Barbara Neuhofer. My life’s calling is to be an educator and spark transformation, which I am humbled to do in multiple settings. I work as a Professor of Experience & Transformation Design and Head of Experience Design at the Department of Innovation and Management in Tourism at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria. I am a Transformation Coach, Speaker and Trainer. I am also the Co-founder of the award-winning Experience Design Summit Year Zero, a transformational event. My own life experiences and research focus on the intersection of experience design, human transformation and consciousness. I integrate psychology and design to understand, intentionally create and guide beautiful experiences that unlock glimpses of consciousness and initiate journeys to our highest Self.
My current research focuses on experience design for transformation. Through insights from my own personal journey of transformation and my scientific research, I research human transformation, digital transformation and value co-creation. The intersection of psychology, technology and design gives us a unique lens to intentionally design and guide transformative experiences that elevate our human consciousness and bring value and positive change to our personal lives, workplaces and natural ecosystems on Planet Earth.
Words spark inspiration and transformation.
I have the honour to share my personal journey of transformation, scientific insights from research and foresight of the trends on experience design and transformation as a speaker. I am frequently invited as an international keynote speaker and have shared my insights and wisdom at over 100 scientific conferences, global industry summits and business events around the globe.
To guide others means to transform ourselves first.
As a Transformation Coach, I work with individuals, thought leaders, executives and designers to empower and guide them on their own personal journeys of transformation and personal growth. I help individuals navigate the challenges of transformative experiences, unlock their true potential and create the highest version of their conscious Self. As an Experience and Transformation Design Consultant, I work with businesses and organisations to help them create, design and guide human, digital and transformative experiences that elevate our human consciousness and make a positive impact in the world.
Education brings transformation to the world.
It is a great honour for me to be part of the educational journeys of so many wonderful human beings. I teach experience design and transformation design at several international universities. I train companies and consulting firms with design methods on next level experience and transformation design to help them change the world of their clients and guests.
