Portfolio, CV & Personal
Brand Review
Not sure what value you offer the market? I’ll help you craft a brand story and profile to appeal to your target roles and companies so you can hit the ground running.

Whether it’s 1x, 2x, or up to 4x a month, you can book ongoing strategic support sessions as often as you need.
Hey there!
I’m Mel 👋
With over a decade in tech in addition to navigating my own life transitions across North America, Europe, and the UK, I’ve come to realise one thing: one size does NOT fit all.
Careers aren’t always linear, and they shouldn’t have to be. The work you do can be a vehicle towards a life that aligns with your values — not something that defines your entire worth.
I help designers and creatives get unstuck: whether that’s landing their next role, starting an entrepreneurial endeavour, or a healthy mix of both — to build a life that truly makes sense to them. 🚀
If this resonates, let’s have a virtual coffee chat and get you unstuck. ☕️
