About Me
About myself & my experience

As a strategic designer and coach, I developed Self Design to help high achievers navigate personal growth and career transformation. With a strong academic background, including a prestigious education from London School of Economics and HEC Paris, I blend creative problem-solving with strategic insight to empower individuals to design fulfilling work lives. I have worked with leading global clients, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and The World Bank, applying design thinking and systems approaches to solve complex challenges. Drawing from both my personal journey of redefining success and my professional expertise, I help you align your career with your values and unlock your potential.

My coaching method & approach

As a strategic designer with a background in helping organizations (UNDP, Worldbank Group) and individuals solve complex problems, I developed Self Design Coaching to empower professionals to take control of their work life using design principles. My design background allows me to approach career coaching from a fresh perspective—one that emphasizes creativity, iteration, and structured problem-solving. What is Self Design? Self Design is a transformative approach that empowers individuals to actively shape their inner world and the way they navigate life using design principles. At its core, design is about creatively solving problems, iterating on solutions, and adapting to new challenges—all of which can be applied not only to external projects but also to the self. In Self Design, you use these same design principles to cultivate self-awareness, build emotional resilience, and refine your mindset. The goal is not just to design a more fulfilling life, but to design a more capable, adaptable, and self-aware you. The Process - Understand: We begin by gaining a deep understanding of both the external and internal factors influencing your work life. This includes exploring your values, mindset, and the challenges you face. - Define: Together, we reframe your challenges in a way that encourages creative problem-solving, helping you clarify what success looks like for you and what truly matters. - Ideate: Next, we brainstorm and generate multiple ideas for solving your problems, exploring different paths to reshape your role or make a career transition. - Test & Iterate: Finally, we put those ideas into action, using small, actionable experiments to test solutions, gather insights, and iterate on what works best for you. This dynamic, design-driven process allows you to create meaningful, lasting changes in your work life, whether you're crafting a new approach in your current role or preparing for an entirely new career journey.
