Professional coaching for makers, designers, and entrepreneurs.
Explore and unblock what holds you back from starting or shipping; seeking support and mentorship; breaking down complexity; identifying your voice and the WHY of your work; getting unstuck; balancing hobbies, family, work, and relationships; and more.
We get lost in our own heads, get distracted, or lose the plot.
We unconsciously weigh down our passions with goals and the accomplishments of others, or we circle around a desire without taking a structured approach to reach it.
Coaching provides structured and potentially transformative approaches to getting to where we want to be — facilitated in a co-creative and accountability-focused way.
I work with makers, designers, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists who are:
Looking to Start
New projects or big ideas can feel impossible to start. Coaching can help break down the problem and identify blockers.
Looking to Maintain
Sometimes starting something is the fun part, or the bit that comes easily. We can work together to find to reduce friction and make "maintenance mode" fun.
Looking to Grow
We might see an opportunity to grow that feels out of reach, or underdeveloped. Coaching can deepen our understanding of these opportunities and create structure for approaching them.
Looking to Pivot
We might feel stagnant, or perhaps not recognize ourselves today from who we believe ourselves to be. Age, commitments, and practice change — and coaching tools can support reconciling and moving forward.

Hear from some of my past clients
Before Andrew, the world of coaching had been somewhat foreign to me and I was skeptical about it. Yet, through his patient guidance, he demystified the process, providing me with the necessary tools to face and overcome obstacles. Our sessions became dynamic brainstorming sessions, where creativity flowed freely, and no concept was too unrealistic or “silly”.His support empowered me to gather the courage necessary to embark on a journey I had postponed for far too long. Now, after one year, this journey is beginning to take on a solid shape of its own.

Throughout our sessions, we explored and worked toward a process of both respecting and addressing my impostor syndrome. Ultimately, we developed a checklist of triggers to look for, and methods to minimize and move past this reaction in a healthy and repeatable way. I was able to immediately start testing these tools, and I’m happy to say that my work-related stress has decreased significantly because of them.

Sr. Service Designer
During my transition to a new job, Andrew played a crucial role in helping me navigate the uncertainties of unfamiliar contexts and relationships and cultivating my creative confidence. His listening skills and thought-provoking questions effortlessly steered our conversations to deeper levels, creating a safe space for exploration.

Coaching is an investment through time, energy, and money. Here are some common questions my clients have had before signing up.
I approach coaching as a kind of facilitated and heavily structured introspection. By combinging my experience in design facilitation, ethnographic research, and coach training, my style of coaching encourages client ownership of solutions — as well as sharing tools and techniques so that clients are empowered to develop independently as well.
I have 15 years experience working as a designer and facilitor at
IDEO, the Pentagon (US Digital Service), and in industry with big
businesses like IKEA, Ford, and CAT; as well as small startups and
scaleups.
I also have ICF-accredited certification as a professional transformative coach through Animas Coaching, and will be ICF accredited (ACC) at the end of 2024.
My coaching clients are usually individuals who are creative and
independently motivated to learn, make, and try things. The unifying
factor is that they tend to identify as people who create things.
But, there is often a blocker at play. Perhaps the maker spark is
gone after a big life change, or a healthy pattern in the past has
become toxic (like all nighters in your 40s).
All coaching engagements start with a free 30min intro session. We
discuss your needs, boundaries, and what to expect from coaching.
Before our first coaching session, payments are fully refundable minus
any processor fees. After the first session, payments are
non-refundable.
However, if we mutually agree to terminate the
sessions, then a case-by-case partial refund can happen.
Coaching is a client led, coach facilitated process. So the client comes with a topic they want to explore: either unique to that session or spread across several sessions. I will guide the conversation to goals that can be addressed within a 50-60min session, and maintain a structure so the client can focus on their thoughts. Approriate tools and techniques are used to reframe a problem, consider other perspectives, or consider values. As the session moves towards a conclusion, we'll wrap up loose ends, focus on concrete outcomes and activities for the client to do, and agree on accountability steps if needed.
My experience has been that three sessions work best for addressing a larger topic. Some I have experienced as a coach include navigating major work changes and promotion; finding and settling into a new job; ADHD-related decision strategies as an independent entrepreneurs; decision paralysis leading into product launch; selecting the RIGHT creative focus when you want to do everything; and more.
