Why work with me?
I’ve experienced very much how it feels to live and work NOT in alignment with yourself—but I made it to the other side and now I want to guide you there too.
This I learned the way most of us do—the hard way! After a decade of working as a designer in American corporations and agencies, I completely burned out and got really sick (acute viral meningitis SUCKS).
Fortunately and with time, I recovered completely and left my home country to travel the world for years. As I funded my travels with remote freelance projects, my appreciation grew for all the different ways we can live and earn. This season let me discover my true values and I crafted a new life prioritizing them.
It hasn’t always been simple—a corporate hangover followed me for a long time as I struggled to find alignment, but patience and persistence have been so fruitful, as have my mentors and coaches along the way. I’ve built a business to support the life I love, and now I want to support you in doing the same.
I’ve learned the alignment of making a living and making a life is a constant evolution, and the journey is much sweeter when we can share the highs and lows with someone we trust.
It brings me great joy to support you in your own journey!
