About me

Before I became a coach, I was a designer. What began in graphic design evolved into designing products and experiences, and eventually into leading design teams.

I’ve always been driven to find a better way. Design taught me to ask questions, look at things from different perspectives, and stay open to possibilities that aren’t immediately obvious. I’ve spent much of my career figuring things out—understanding a problem, seeing the bigger picture, and working with others to create a better path forward.

That way of thinking has shaped how I work, how I lead, and now, how I coach.

Why Coaching

My path to coaching grew out of a challenging period in my own leadership experience.

As AI began rapidly transforming the workplace, I was leading a team through a tremendous amount of uncertainty and change. Teams were under pressure to adopt AI, often before there was a clear strategy for what that meant or how teams should navigate it. As a leader, I felt that pressure firsthand. I was supporting my team, trying to deliver, and navigating my own frustration and burnout at the same time.

But in the middle of that experience, I started to see an opportunity.

Leaders were being asked to navigate enormous change while simultaneously figuring out what that change meant for themselves, their teams, and the way they lead. What became clear to me was how much leaders need space to step back, think things through, and make sense of uncertainty and change.

Coaching gave me a way to bring my experience as a designer and leader to those conversations.

A different way of moving forward

What I’ve always loved about design is the process of figuring things out. You start with what you know, get curious about what you don’t, explore possibilities, and learn as you go.

I bring that same mindset to coaching.

Coaching creates space to pause, get curious, and look at things differently. We all have stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we’re capable of. Over time, those stories can become so deeply rooted that we stop questioning whether they’re even true.

My role isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions when it’s useful, and help you uncover what you already know. Together, we can explore what’s possible and identify a path forward that feels right for you.

Why I do this work

I’m drawn to the moments when people feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for something to change but aren’t quite sure what that something is.

I love the moment when someone sees something differently. When a new perspective creates a possibility they hadn’t considered before. When they realize they have more choices than they thought they did.

That’s what makes coaching meaningful to me.

I bring the perspective of a designer, the experience of a leader, and a genuine curiosity about people to every coaching relationship.
