Creative Career Studio
Helping creative professionals turn career uncertainty into direction
On the question of what’s next.
Creative Career Studio is a coaching practice for creative professionals asking a real question about what's next.
The work draws on coaching, visual thinking, and futures methods, combining into something unique: sessions that don't just talk through your questions, but sketch them, map them, and locate them in the landscape of where the world is going. When a decision is stuck in the abstract, we make it visible. When the answer isn't in the current terrain, we look at where the terrain is headed.
Coaching that thinks visually.
Sessions draw on coaching, visual thinking and futures methods, because thinking on paper helps us gain clarity.
Creatives in transition.
Designers, writers, strategists, makers and other professionals whose work is creative who feel the pull to start thinking about what’s next. If you're navigating any version of "what's next" and want to work with someone who's done the work themselves and thinks visually about it, start here.
Serves multiple paths.
The practice serves people in specific situations: when you know the current path isn't the one), when you're staying put but need to go further, or when something different, something bigger is calling. Each of these takes different thinking, and none of them are solved by generic frameworks or five-step plans.
Not another framework. A working conversation about the question in front of you.
Most career coaching wants to give you a system. This work draws on twenty years across desgin, innovation, and futures thinking — not to give you the answer, but to help you notice which directions feel most worth exploring. The work draws on four disciplines: coaching, visual thinking, futures methods and the innovation sensibility I built across two decades in new product development and trend work.
What that means in practice: sessions that combine the honest questions of a real coach with the drawing, mapping, and future-modeling of someone who's spent a career making thinking visible. When something's stuck in the abstract, we sketch it. When the answer isn't in the current landscape, we look at where the landscape is going.
