feeling
stuck?
I help designers and creatives get clear on their next step—whether that's landing the next role, building an additional income stream, or finally starting something of their own.
Get
unstuck
Whether you want to land that next role, start an entrepreneurial endeavour, or try a mix of both, you deserve to have the clarity and support to take that next step. You don’t have to do this alone.

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 energy and 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 you’re ready to go from chaotic to clear, let’s have a chat and get started.
Kind Words
“Melanie is willing to work with you every step of the way to make sure that you're satisfied, and that's a quality that is rare to come by. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with personal brand strategy development. She's the full package!”
— Sara A., Toronto, Canada
Clarity Call (60 mins)
If your job search feels like it's going nowhere, or you have too many directions pulling at you and can't commit to one, this call is for that. We'll get you from chaotic to clear in an hour, with a 30-day action plan to back it up.
Portfolio, CV & Personal Brand Audit (async)
Most designers undersell themselves without realising it. This audit is about figuring out how you're actually coming across versus how you want to come across, and closing that gap. You'll get a recorded Loom with specific, actionable feedback on your portfolio, CV, and personal brand.
