Design careers don't move in straight lines. This isn't a plan with five steps and a finish line. It's ongoing space to think clearly about your work. We'll meet regularly. Some sessions will be about a specific decision in front of you. Others will be slower, more about noticing patterns in how you think and work. Both matter. What you'll get: Recurring 1:1 sessions, plus async check-ins between calls Honest feedback, not just encouragement Support through specific moments: feedback conversations, promotion cases, freelance decisions, portfolio direction A thinking partner for the harder, less obvious questions about your career A good fit if: You're feeling behind, but can't quite name why You want a coach who asks better questions instead of handing you answers You're in a transition and want to think it through with someone who's done it

For designers who are good at design but unsure about the rest.
I'm a brand designer and creative leader who's spent over a decade building visual identities for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and nonprofits. I currently lead brand design at Apollo GraphQL, where I focus on the intersection of brand strategy, AI, design systems, and creative culture. I'd be a good fit for you if you're looking for a coach who leads with honesty, not hype. Someone who's been where you are—felt behind when the tools changed, questioned whether your work was good enough, navigated ambiguous career paths and difficult feedback. I've sat in the uncertainty that comes with creative work, and I've learned that growth doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from staying curious, asking better questions, and trusting your own instincts. I coach the way I wish I'd been coached early in my career: with reflection, not prescriptions. I help you think clearly about your work, your identity, and your growth. If you want someone to give you the one right way to do things, I'm not your person. But if you want a steady, experienced voice to help you navigate the messiness of creative work, build confidence in your own thinking, and make decisions that align with who you actually are, we'd work well together.
