The Biggest Career Mistake Isn't a Bad Move.

It's Moving Without Strategy.

Most leaders navigate transitions alone — relying on generic advice, outdated tactics, and hope. We bring 20 years of market intelligence, strategic positioning, and insider knowledge to your career. Most career coaches help you polish your resume.

We help you architect your next chapter.

Our Approach:

01. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM

We map your current position, career trajectory, and market value to reveal opportunities and gaps.

02. SHAPE THE FUTURE STATE

We architect your career positioning for where you want to be in 18-24 months, not where you are today.

03. CALIBRATE WITH THE MARKET

We design your narrative, portfolio, and presence to attract the opportunities that align with your goals.

04. ACTIVATE WITH PRECISION

We pressure-test your positioning against market realities and help you execute your search strategically.

Because the best careers aren't found — they're designed.

Professional creative leader portrait

Common Questions

  • A: Three ways:

    (1) We only work with design, product, and brand leaders — 20 years of specialization means we know your market intimately.

    (2) We place executives for companies, so we see both sides — what actually gets people hired.

    (3) We architect careers, not just edit resumes. 

  • A: Schedule a consultation. We'll discuss where you are in your search and recommend the right starting point. Many leaders start with the Career Assessment ($500) to get clarity. 

  • A: We help with strategic positioning — narrative, portfolio, LinkedIn, interview presence. If you need tactical resume formatting, we can recommend specialists. Our focus is the strategic work that actually differentiates you. 

  • A: Absolutely. Many of our clients are employed and exploring transitions confidentially. All conversations are completely confidential. 

  • A: It depends on your situation, target roles, and market. Most leaders in active search land roles within 2-4 months. Strategic positioning (what we do) significantly accelerates timelines. 

  • A: Our goal is to position you strategically for your next chapter. If you follow the strategy and don't see improvement in interview performance and opportunities, we'll work with you until you do.

  • A: No. We only work with creative leadership. This specialization is what makes us effective — we know your domain intimately. 

  • A: Yes. The $500 Career Assessment credit can be applied to Portfolio Review, Career Narrative, or Retained Career Coach if you proceed within 30 days.
