I offer energy-giving support for consistent career growth so you stop guessing and start moving.
About Me
I’m Mel, a UX Career Coach. I don’t do generic HR stuff.
I use the CARE framework.
Curious? Check out this podcast to learn more about CARE.
I record voice notes for UXers like you. No scripts. No studio setup. Just space to think. You will hear a peer, not a broadcaster. Available on Spotify and other major podcast apps.
Coaching Programs
Your goals, pace, and context shape how we might collaborate. Because coaching needs to "click," we need the right chemistry to do meaningful, impactful work together.
That’s why I don’t ask you to pick a package or pay upfront.

Why I Do UX Career Coaching
I know what it’s like to feel lost in UX.
Layoffs, org changes, and burnout are real.
But I also know how to cut through the noise and move forward.
I got two promotions while pregnant. I built a profitable business during my divorce. And I rebuilt my career across nine countries over two decades.
With 10+ years of UX leadership experience at places like Glovo (Delivery Hero), I’ve led teams both in-house and at consultancies, given keynotes at UX conferences, written for UX Collective, and coached 1:1 and in groups.
Outside of UX, I’ve studied coaching, leadership, and communication at Harvard University, University of Chicago, and Utrecht University.
My interdisciplinary background spans clinical psychology, cultural anthropology, evolutionary biology, media and cultural studies, and gender studies.
I’ve spent my life understanding people—and helping them understand themselves—so they can get better results.
