I offer four levels of coaching:

GET UNSTUCK

Gain clarity on your next move and remove blockers standing between you and your next role. This if for those who aren’t sure how to get to the next level but are feeling ambitious for more.

LEAD THE ROLE

Step confidently into a new leadership position with authority and visibility. This is for those who are transitioning into that next role and want to do so with professional guidance.

EXPAND YOUR INFLUENCE

Increase your impact, strategic presence and visibility within your organization. This is for those looking to conquer design leadership and influence decision makers.

1:1 LEADERSHIP COACHING

Personalized support for career decisions, leadership identity, and executive-level positioning. This is for those who have conquered influence but need ongoing support navigating the waters.

Executive Career Strategy & Search

Done-for-you job search strategy, role identification, and LinkedIn positioning. Many are calling this “reverse recruiting” — meaning the candidate pays a coach instead of the company. This is for senior leaders who don’t have the time to hunt, but are ready for their next move. I handle the heavy lifting of the job search: identifying aligned roles, positioning you strategically, making relevant industry introductions, and connecting you to real opportunities. If you’re the right fit, this is for you.

ABOUT COACH GABI

Throughout my time at P&G, Kellogg, Kimberly-Clark, and leading creative teams across the industry, I kept seeing the same problem: we force designers into a business-led world without preparing them.

Design school teaches conceptual thinking, craft, and creative problem-solving — but rarely how to navigate power, politics, executive communication, or business strategy.

Most design professionals don’t struggle because they lack talent.

They struggle because they were never taught how to grow beyond craft.

As a Design Leadership Career Coach, I work with experienced design professionals ready for more. Together, we uncover what’s limiting their growth, clarify their next move, and build the positioning strategy that matches the level they’re stepping into.

This isn’t one-and-done coaching — it’s ongoing support for real growth.
