HeyDay Network
Uniting complementary minds and diverse global perspectives to practice creative and expansive thinking tools which encourage innovation.
Connecting Innovative Minds.
We’re HeyDay Network, a global collective of visionaries, innovators, and change-makers who are relentlessly curious to grow, expand and share our knowledge.
We’re life-long adapters who aspire to make a profound impact when developing meaningful solutions for complex challenges.
HeyDay is building the network to expand our learning toolbox through questioning, creative thinking, and human-centered design. We’re fearless in questioning our assumptions by adopting multiple lenses, hats, and shoes from our diverse backgrounds and skillsets.

Empowering Creativity.
Roos focuses on bringing energy, innovation, and empowerment to creativity in diverse places, especially where that might be blocked. As a former gallery owner and curator in contemporary art and design, she has stimulated and empowered many creative minds within diverse disciplines (contemporary art, architecture, product design, graphic design, illustration, urban art, urban sports, photography, coaches, creative entrepreneurs, musicians). Her exhibition space and shop were a predecessor of the current concept stores.
Stretching Mindsets.
Over the past 15 years, she has created a variety of spaces. She worked closely with the city council, public housing, diverse business owners, art & music festivals, and schools to initiate creative spaces. While doing so, she stretched the mindset of businesses and municipalities on how to collaborate more with innovative and temporary initiatives. She taught them to see other than the usual interpretations of public space and urban development.
Uniting People Who Innovate.
She has witnessed the power of uniting people who innovate and created a community that connects global innovators. As a result, they will expand their experience, deepen soft skills, and stretch mindsets. So that they can tap from their own and each other's creative sources and from there create human-centered change.
“The role of a leader of innovation is not to set a vision and motivate others to follow it. It's to create a community that is willing and able to generate new ideas.”
Linda A. Hill
Building Our Community
Creating a thriving community is not something one can do solo. We have worked on setting up the structure and the foundation and there is a deep-sea of content to be made and knowledge to be shared but not without the connection with you!
This community is built through a Design Thinking Journey with its Founding Members. Because the power of a passionate community has no limits.
Connect & Grow.
International Network.
Our community is built on Innovative Thinking minds from all over the world. The platform is a private space on a mobile and web app. It will be off social media, so you can have a more efficient and valuable experience with us and each other.
Support System.
We meet each other in bi-weekly group calls in which you’ll be able to ask tough questions and get answers from diverse perspectives. You will be able to learn from each other’s experiences, perspectives, disciplines.
Content.
You’ll find content (articles, links, posts, videos, podcasts) as well as anything that covers the questions and interests of our members. The content will be categorized so it’ll be easy for you to find just what you are looking for.
Live Events.
Every month there will be a variety of 60/90-minute events where you’ll be enlightened with guest speakers, workshops, mentoring, feedback, and practice- and brainstorm sessions.
Launched in July 2021!

What Our Founding Members Are Saying
“Being part of the group in itself has changed my life significantly.”
“People shared a lot. The discussions were thought-provoking and everyone added to each other’s comments. Great collaborative conversations are hard to come by.”
“The guest speaker was good because it exposed me to more of the creative process and styles that I was not familiar with.”
“Where else can you rent an innovation playing field with players and a coach? It's the continuous practice that makes the master.”
Member Results.
We seek to grow our knowledge, skills, and experience through work, practice and experiment with multiple methods, theories, models, tools, and frameworks. Let’s foster empathy, creativity & problem solving for ourselves, our teams, and innovative processes.
We’ll help you to understand and overcome creative blocks, challenge beliefs and embrace failure. We view the sea of ambiguity as a friend. By approaching challenges head-on we grow our creative confidence. Ride the wave of the unknown and unlock a better understanding of your team, clients, users, and/or stakeholders.
