I help people navigate career transitions, build confidence, clarify their goals, and make thoughtful career and life decisions. With over a decade of experience as a UX designer in the tech industry, I also bring a design perspective to career development, particularly for people working in UX, product, and technology.
I’m currently building my coaching practice while navigating a transition of my own, so I’m offering sessions at a lower rate during this stage. I’m excited to work with people who are looking for a thoughtful, supportive space to explore their next steps.
You tell Ellen your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Ellen reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.
You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
