Welcome To Your Life
Today’s teens face a bewildering multitude of choices.
The majority make college and career decisions based on their current grades, where mom or dad did or didn’t go, and the well-intentioned thoughts of friends, family and others. But there is a better way.
Through a combination of gift and talent testing, personality testing, individualized interpretation and systemic, comprehensive support, our programs give students the concrete tools they need to better understand themselves, thereby developing the ability to make informed choices about their futures.
We also help parents and teens become partners in choosing colleges, majors and careers by encouraging the development of a shared language and understanding about gifts, talents and personality.
At The Handmade Life, we’re dedicated to transforming the process of career development for students, families and schools. To that end, we provide resources to school choice professionals and learning specialists to help them help their students make satisfying choices.

Our case studies
Thank you for helping me see myself more clearly and celebrate my gifts as well as accept my areas of weakness.
I thought I knew what I wanted, but it wasn’t until our consultation that I realized why.
The Handmade Life helped us find a bridge between generations and between expectations.
I have learned how to think differently about strengths and interests I had taken for granted.
