We're Angel & Antonia
We built this for ourselves before we ever offered it to anyone else.
From the beginning, we spoke clearly about the life we wanted, the family we were building, and the future we were designing together. What started as a two-day retreat shortly after we got married became the starting point for Marriage by Design - a living system we have tested and refined over five years. This isn't a programme we designed from the outside. It's the architecture of our own life.
Antonia's path to this work began with heartbreak and the courage to turn inward. It sent her on a journey of self-discovery that gave her access to her inner world and a deep trust in her own intuition - and ultimately led her to manifest the life, the partner and the family she had dreamed of. Antonia has spent her career as a bridge builder, connecting clients, teams and ideas across media, innovation, global mobility and technology, most recently as Senior Manager at EY. She knows this work changes lives because it changed hers first.
Angel is a strategist, finance coach and reformed engineer who redesigned his own life long before he helped others do the same. A solo trip to Southeast Asia in his twenties cracked open everything he thought he knew about how life was supposed to look. He came back different, and has been building differently ever since, including taking a year long adventure across México with Antonia and their newborn son.
Together, we bring the full picture. The vision and the roadmap. The strategy and the soul. We don't teach what we've studied. We teach what we live - every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is not therapy, counseling, or a program to fix problems. It's for couples who are doing well and want to design something extraordinary. Intentionally.
The opposite. There are two reasons people make changes in life: inspiration or desperation. Marriage by Design is built for the first kind: couples who are curious, ambitious, and excited about what they could build together. If you're in crisis, this isn't the right fit.
Not at all. The experience is 6 months long, but it's just 9 sessions total. Intentional and structured, not overwhelming.
Couples, ideally newly married or engaged, who want to align from the start. Couples who'd rather design their life together than drift into it by default.
If you're looking for therapy, a quick fix, or passive advice, this isn't the right fit. Both partners also need to be fully committed to the process.
We go through a process that covers six areas: your shared vision for life, your roadmap for the next 12 months, money and finances, the gaps you've been avoiding, the patterns and beliefs you carry from the past, and finally, who you are as a couple going forward.
