Hi, I’m Olia Volha — Certified Coach (ICF Level 2) and mentor for design leaders, creative freelancers, and professionals in transition who are ready to grow with clarity and purpose.

I help thoughtful, driven creatives like you move from self-doubt to self-trust — so you can confidently speak up, raise your rates, grow your visibility, and get paid for work that truly reflects you. No more burnout hustle. No “fake it till you make it.” Just real, sustainable growth — on your terms.

Before becoming a coach, I spent 16+ years in UX/UI design and branding for tech startups. I didn’t chase awards or glossy case studies — I built a career on curiosity, financial independence, and long-term creative freedom.

And beyond the resume:

— I solo-migrated from Belarus to Germany in my 30s and rebuilt my life and career from scratch
— I recovered from a tough layoff that forced me to rethink everything
— I shifted from chronic self-doubt to building a path aligned with my values and wishes

These lived experiences shape how I coach. I don’t promise “5 steps to your dream life” — because deep, lasting change takes more than a checklist. Instead, I help you:

✅ Get a higher job title to increase your satisfaction & salary
✅ Clarify your values & career direction
✅ Transitioning into leadership roles or preparing for a career change
✅ Overcome professional stagnation
✅ Balance career growth with launching personal projects
✅ Return to work after parental leave and smoothly adapt to new realities
✅ Assess your strengths, weaknesses, and uncover blind spots

If you're a freelance designer, creative strategist, or a design leader in transition — and you're ready to stop shrinking yourself and start owning your path — I’m here to help you.

Let’s explore what’s next for you.
