About: coaching

As a new professional coach, I am focused on supporting emerging designers, creative leaders, and other professionals to navigate the immense cultural, social and economic changes we are undergoing. With experience in nearly every area of the design field — managing a studio and an agency, teaching design at university, and mentoring dozens of designers and developers — I bring calm, clarity and compassion to coaching.

Coaching offers us the ability to dive into what you really want. Over the course of our work together, we co-create plans that are tailored around your goals, your ideas, your needs, your resources and your aspirations. Coaching is about empowerment. It is about catalyzing personal transformation. It is about shaping what a future could look like if we simply got of our own way.

The beauty of coaching, especially for designers, creative leaders and other knowledge professionals is that we come to realize this: not that something is possible but that you are possible. Working together, we spark learning, growing and building in order to create the life you seek and a life you like.

I know that it's sometimes hard to imagine being in a different spot. The stories we tell ourselves are not always the best ones. And our present circumstances for change are often less than ideal.

But I'm living proof that we are not stuck. I believe in the power of personal transformation, having experienced it myself again and again and again.
