Design the work/life that feels like you.

Career Design Coaching

For mid-career creative people ready to design what's next.

You're talented, ambitious, and successful by most measures. But somewhere along the way, the creative spark that once drove you got buried under deliverables, leadership responsibilities, and a paycheck that made it easy to ignore the growing restlessness.

Maybe you climbed into a corporate role that pays well but drains you. Maybe you moved into leadership and now spend your days in meetings instead of making. Or maybe you're in a job that was never the right fit, and you're finally ready to admit it.

You know you can't keep going like this: the Sunday scaries are getting worse, and you're craving work that actually energizes you: something that lets you create, think differently, and make an impact that matters.

You're here because you're ready to get back to what you're meant to do: build a career that's as dynamic and creative as you are, with the flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment you've been missing.

Let's design it together.

The Formula That Makes Careers Work:

PATHS + PEOPLE + TOOLS + ACTION

I often hear of a misconception about career design: that the path from A to Z is linear: a moment of sudden certainty followed by a straight line to a new destination.

The truth is that career design is exploratory, iterative, and decidedly non-linear. The process requires experimenting with possibilities, gathering real-world data, and allowing your understanding to evolve as you go.

And the pain points are real: How do you explore new directions without abandoning your current income or credibility? How do you talk about your interests when they're still forming? How do you know which hunches are worth pursuing? And perhaps most challenging: how do you give yourself permission to not have it all figured out?

What’s important to remember is that you are a creative person and experimenter at heart. If anyone is going to figure this out, it’s someone as inventive as you.

And you have me on your side. I help you explore and define your possible next paths—the ones you already have hunches about, your fantasies, and your current reality. And even if you have no idea where to start, we solve for that too.

We also go beyond reflection and planning so you can get out into the world and take action. Action consists of connecting with people already living those paths, using targeted tools and frameworks to clarify your thinking, and making moves that generate real insights.

We'll apply this formula systematically to your career exploration, building momentum through consistent small steps rather than waiting for one big leap.
