Manifesting Generator
A Manifesting Generator is one of the five human design types. They are multi-passionate doers who are meant to try many things and are constantly evolving.

They are often natural leaders and guides who inspire others with their enthusiasm.
Generator
A Generator is another one of the five human design types. They are natural doers who enjoy diving deeply into one thing and then the next. They are steadfast, dedicated, and committed, and their energy is magnetic when they are lit up by what they are doing. They are meant to prioritize their desires and use their energy in ways that light them up.
Projector
A Projector is one of the five human design types. They are natural leaders, guides, advisors, and teachers who are not meant to do all the doing. Their energy ebbs and flows, and their gift is in how they see the world and how sensitive they are to others. They are often natural coaches, therapists, and leaders who are good at asking the right questions.
Reflector
A Reflector is one of the five human design types. They are the rarest type and are known as the collective mirrors. They are highly sensitive to their environment and mirror back what they are around. They are super fluid and can feel like other types depending on the day. Their job is to honor whatever feels like them that day.
Manifestor
A Manifestor is one of the five human design types. They are innovative and disruptive forces who are gifted at getting things started. They are often provocative and spark the world into new ways of doing things. Their energy can ebb and flow, and they are meant to initiate and take action when the urge arises within them.
Alignment
In human design, alignment refers to living in accordance with your unique energetic makeup. It means making decisions, structuring your days, and pursuing opportunities in a way that feels natural and fulfilling for you. When you are aligned, you experience greater ease, flow, and success in your life.
Discernment
Discernment is the ability to make wise judgments and decisions based on your own intuition and values. It involves filtering information and experiences through your own lens to determine what is truly right for you, rather than blindly following external advice or trends.
Intuition
Intuition is a deep inner knowing that guides you towards what is best for you. It is a powerful tool for making decisions, navigating challenges, and living a more authentic life. Human design encourages you to trust your intuition and make decisions based on what feels right for you, rather than relying solely on logic or external validation.
