# Design Aligned

> Design Aligned is a Human Design guidance and education platform for women, created by Jennifer "JuJu" Harkins. It offers a free personalized energy chart, a paid client portal with readings and daily insights, written readings, and 1:1 guidance — grounded in JuJu's practical, trauma-informed approach to Human Design.

Design Aligned serves women who have been doing inner work for years and are still waiting for it to click. JuJu's approach treats Human Design not as a belief system but as a behavioral framework, in the same category as Myers-Briggs or the Enneagram, that helps people recognize patterns they already knew were there. The body graph chart doesn't ask you to become someone different — it reveals who you already are.

JuJu uses her own language for Human Design concepts, making the system more accessible and grounded without altering its underlying mechanics.

## About JuJu Harkins

Jennifer Harkins (known as JuJu) is a Human Design reader and guide. She has been studying Human Design independently since approximately 2016 and formally since 2020. Her approach is embodied and intuitive, shaped by nearly two decades of yoga practice and teaching, trauma-informed coaching training, and Reiki mastery.

Her credentials include:
- Reiki Master, Usui System of Natural Healing (2025)
- ICF-Accredited Coach Training, Lumia Coaching (2021–2022)
- Trauma-Informed Coach, The Centre for Healing (2023)
- 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Yoga Alliance (2015)
- Yoga for Resiliency & Trauma Recovery, Sacred Roots Wellness (2017)
- Master of Accounting and BS Business Administration, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

JuJu works specifically with women. Her reading approach: "What I do is read from your chart what is probably already present in your life and hand it back to you in a language you can feel."

## What Human Design Is (JuJu's Framing)

Human Design is a structured system developed in the 1980s that maps how a person's energy works — including their decision-making style, where they naturally thrive, and why certain ways of operating feel draining regardless of effort. It draws on several older traditions in its construction but is best understood as a practical behavioral framework rather than a metaphysical belief system.

JuJu is transparent that Human Design is not peer-reviewed science and argues that it sits in the same category as Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, and DiSC: useful lenses without empirical validation. The practical test she offers is this: get your chart, read what it says about how you make decisions, and see if it matches your lived experience.

Human Design is not a fixed destiny, a prediction, a belief system to adopt, or a replacement for therapy or medical care.

The five Human Design energy types, each with a fundamentally different relationship to energy and decision-making:
- [Generator](https://www.designaligned.com/energy-types/generator) — ~37% of people. The Firekeeper. Strategy: wait to respond. Signature: satisfaction. Not-self: frustration.
- [Manifesting Generator](https://www.designaligned.com/energy-types/manifesting-generator) — ~33% of people. The Fire Dancer. Strategy: wait to respond, then inform. Signature: satisfaction. Not-self: frustration and anger.
- [Projector](https://www.designaligned.com/energy-types/projector) — ~20% of people. The Guiding Light. Strategy: wait for the invitation. Signature: success. Not-self: bitterness.
- [Manifestor](https://www.designaligned.com/energy-types/manifestor) — ~9% of people. The Firestarter. Strategy: inform before acting. Signature: peace. Not-self: anger.
- [Reflector](https://www.designaligned.com/energy-types/reflector) — ~1% of people. The Reflecting Pool. Strategy: wait a lunar cycle. Signature: surprise and delight. Not-self: disappointment.
