You shouldn't have to choose between creative fulfillment and career success.
You're talented. You've built a career. But something feels off.
Maybe you're circling the same questions, second-guessing decisions, or feeling disconnected from work that once energized you. The creative industry moves fast, and it's easy to lose yourself in the noise.
You've tried figuring it out alone. You've read the articles, listened to podcasts, maybe even talked to friends. But you're still stuck in the same patterns, and the frustration keeps building.
I help creatives find clarity and momentum.
Through deep listening and breakthrough questions, we'll untangle what feels stuck and map out your path forward. This isn't generic career advice—it's a coaching approach designed specifically for creative minds, tested with hundreds of professionals at companies like Apple, Nike, and Google.
How It Works
My process combines three elements that make the difference:
Deep Listening — I create a judgment-free space where you can think out loud and discover what's really driving your decisions.
Breakthrough Questions — I ask the questions that shift your perspective and reveal possibilities you hadn't considered.
Action-Oriented Framework — Every session ends with clear, specific next steps that feel aligned with who you are—not who you think you should be.
Hello! I'm Bryan.
I help ambitious creatives navigate career inflection points—without selling out, burning out, or losing who they are.
As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I've coached 500+ creative professionals worldwide—from junior designers finding their voice to creative directors leading major rebrands. I started my career as a graphic designer at Wolff Olins, later working as an art director at Huge and a creative strategist at Eight Inc. in Singapore. Today, I consult with INK—MGMT and previously co-founded Unvisible, a recruiting company that supported cutting-edge studios and brands.
My approach adapts strategies often used by CEOs—retooled for creatives, freelancers, and small business owners. I understand the unique pressures of creative work: the impostor syndrome, the feast-or-famine cycles, the challenge of staying true to your vision while meeting business demands.
What Makes Me Different:
- Creative Industry Insider — 15+ years in design, strategy, and recruiting means I speak your language
- Proven Process — Combines leadership coaching, positive psychology, and personal brand building
- Quick Results — Most clients experience breakthrough insights in their first session
- Lasting Impact — Tools and frameworks you can use long after our work together ends
