AMEND Coaching

Hello, I'm John. I help creatives connect to their passion and do it successfully. I’m here to be a support but also to ask the hard questions – all in the goal to help you thrive in your creative life. I’ve made my career as a product designer for more than 20 years. I started designing architectural lighting for Nessen, D’ac and LAM and office furniture for Kimball. My design won best of Neocon in 2002. Over the years, I’ve designed blue and white porcelain tableware for Bombay Company to custom furniture for celebrities. I’ve met designers and artists from almost every field and talked about their process – how they work and how they make their best work. I also trained as a life coach. I know what it’s like to feel burned out creatively. I’ve been at the place where you have nothing to give. You feel spent, like a crusty piece of bread. But, slowly, I learned how to find a more even keeled approach to design and the creative process. My current work involves helping creatives figure out how to make sense of their busy lives, to get over creative hurdles and blocks or to work through an emotionally challenging body of work. If you are interested in working with me, you can book a free 50 minute taster session because I feel that coaching needs to be experienced, not just read about. During the session, we will spend 20-30 minutes tackling a specific issue you are having. Afterwards, I’ll circle back to see if you felt it was beneficial. And, if so, I can outline several options for how we might work together.
