We design experiences and strategies that support the quality of all relationships in the system

As a systemic co-design studio, we design Workshop series, Serious games and Relational Sensemaking Experiences for mission driven teams and consortia.

Services

Playful, immersive games that bring sessions to life and create experiences where people are fully involved.

Physical experiences rooted in material driven design, sensory engagement and story-telling that turn spaces into catalysts for connection.

Workshops and learning programs based on systems thinking and regenerative principles that create opportunities for systemic innovation.

Workshops

Where systemic insights come alive

Captivate and connect any audience

Experiences that allow insights to land

Our designs can support you and your clients with:

  • embodied understanding of the complex challenge you're facing and co-creation of a common vision of your desired future

  • Regenerative strategies to reach that future, including a roadmap that drive systemic change

  • mapping and finding systemic leverage points and design activities for intentional interventions

  • supporting teams to connect and understand. Start acting from a place of responsibility, trust and appreciation

I’m Tessa Bloembergen, founder of Studio Waebe. As a multi-creative designer, I use my creative curiosity, playful ingenuity and compassionate wisdom to create playful, immersive, and deeply human experiences.

Trained as an architect, I realized my passion wasn’t for buildings, but for how people collaborate within them. My work is about creating the conditions for mission-driven teams to enhance their understanding of complexity, find places where they can contribute to action that supports the quality of all the relationships in the system.

Whether it’s a serious game, an immersive architectural installation, or a learning program, my goal is the same: to help teams connect, understand, and act in ways that are regenerative for both themselves and the systems they’re part of.

Hi I'm Tessa, founder of studio Waebe

I appreciated the equality in our collaboration: it felt like truly building together. She stayed curious, always asking: who are we doing this for?''

''The workshop Studio Waebe designed created space for explorations I’d only done in my mind. Tessa’s facilitation, guidance, and choice of activities for the workshop were very inviting, inspiring, and spacious. It was a transformational experience that I hope I will be able to repeat.''
