What is professional coaching?

Coaching creates space for real change. It's about getting unstuck, building new confidence, and opening up possibilities that you couldn't see before. This summer I'm taking on new clients with an introductory offer.

Coaching testimonials

“I came to Andrew considering a career shift but uncertain of the direction. Andrew’s attentive questions really helped me gain clarity on my goals and narrow my focus so that I could explore my options more intentionally."

— Ian

“Working with Andrew was an incredibly valuable experience. His professionalism and insightfulness created a space where I felt genuinely supported and challenged to grow. Rather than simply telling me what to do, he helped me uncover the answers within myself and approach both my career and life with greater clarity and confidence.”

— Michaela S

“I had the pleasure of being mentored by Andrew during a transitional period of my life after completing my degree, when I had little direction on where to go next or how to get started. Andrew was an invaluable resource in guiding me through those next steps, which has allowed me the confidence and capability to begin my design career. Above all else, Andrew is a kind and genuine person who truly advocates for his mentees' success while always encouraging your voice, exploration, and identity as a designer to remain at the forefront.”

— Mikyla J

“Andrew's coaching is not only empowering and flexible, but also very supportive and empathetic. He always listened very attentively to what I had to say, coming up with good guide questions to move forward. At the same time, he gave me lots of space to feel and be in control, helping me build long-term skills and perspectives to work towards goals on my own. I very much loved his ability to reflect strengths  and successes back to me, when I would not be able to notice them.”
