Background

Picture this: one month into my legal training at a prestigious law firm, I found myself crying in the bathroom at work. I realised that, although my work was challenging and intellectual, it wasn't fulfilling. I needed to express myself more artistically. Since BigLaw didn't seem conducive to creativity, I decided to look elsewhere for my fulfilment.

At first, I wasn't sure how to build a creative life, but I took a leap and taught myself. I documented my journey and the processes I followed to discover my creativity. I read books, listened to podcasts, and studied the creative processes of artists, musicians, designers, and architects. I took courses on personal branding

My coaching story begins over nine years ago, sparked by a coaching session with an unimaginative coach. That initial experience was meant to ignite inspiration, but instead, it left me feeling deflated and unseen. My coach at the time was skeptical of my vision—an ambition to blend creativity with a career in law. They dismissed my goals as unattainable, even silly. However, as a natural optimist, I refused to let that negative experience define my journey. I vowed that if I ever started my own coaching practice, I would do things differently.

I believed wholeheartedly in the possibility of a creative and fulfilling life, but I knew I had to be my own proof. Thus began my journey, starting small with coaching engagements for small organizations and law firms. As I shared my story, professionals—especially lawyers—were drawn to my approach and began seeking my advice. It was then that I realized my true calling: helping others recognize and harness their potential.
