VANYA S.
SENIOR UX/UI DESIGNER
"Carmelina is an amazing coach to work with. I went to her to seek help with my resume, portfolio and LinkedIn after countless job rejections. She quickly helped me assess my career goals and aspirations and worked with me to put a plan in place that included identifying the types of companies to target, interview preparation, networking strategy and tips. She also helped me enhance my profile to achieve the job I was struggling with.
Through my resume and portfolio she helped highlight all my career accomplishments, skills and strengths. Soon after her session I started seeing a change: receiving multiple interview calls, clearing interview rounds became a smooth sail for me.
I took the first session exactly a month back and I’m happy to report with her guidance and support I bagged a job. Her support and coaching helped me reach from zero to hundred and they are lessons and learnings which I can apply in any job and course of my career."

“Carmelina is an expert in her field, highly pragmatic and a joy to work with. Under her guidance I've updated my resume and LinkedIn profile, giving me the invaluable gift of confidence, and leading me to a fantastic new job! I highly recommend working with her."
KIMBERLY A.
PROJECT ENGINEER
“I met Carmelina when considering a career change. As a nurse of 25 years with lots of different experiences, I was ready to move on to something a little different that would continue to challenge me much in a way that nursing has. Carmelina worked with me to show me my strengths and point out the many highly desirable skills that were truly marketable for my career shift. She helped me to rewrite my resume and network. I am truly thankful to have connected to Carmelina. She helped me to secure a job in the defense industry as a Project Engineer!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to change careers, elevate in their current career, or any of the services she provides her clients. Thank you so much Carmelina!!!”
CHRISTIE P.
SENIOR EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
“I met Carmelina through my sister over 25 years ago and not only has she been a great friend over the years, but we recently connected as I had been seeking employment for 11 months. Carmelina and I had 1 consultation and 1 coaching call which were very informative and gave me reassurance as I prepared for my interviews. She helped me revise my LinkedIn profile and resume to become more attractive to potential employers. Within a short few weeks of our sessions, I was offered a position. She is a very knowledgeable and intentional coach. I would recommend her to anyone looking for constructive career advice.”
JARED W.
DESIGN STRATEGY CONSULTANT
“For the first time in my life I hired a career coach. It took a long time to find her, but I knew she was the one within 5 minutes of meeting her.
We’ve had one session and I already have clarity and a restored sense of hope and excitement. You might be headed in the right direction while taking the wrong path. That can happen easier than one would imagine, especially in the world of design where there are so many paths to take.
Maybe you’ve reached milestones and feel like something is missing or maybe you can’t get out of your own head. Sometimes you need the right person at the right time to help you and there’s nothing wrong with that. My thanks goes out to Carmelina. I’m glad I have her as a coach and I feel better already.”

SAHANA M.
LEAD UX DESIGNER
"It is my pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend Carmelina for any career coaching support required, especially within the User Experience Design field. Carmelina is the kind of mentor most people look for all their life and never find. There are instances where I’ve messaged her for help at 7 pm and witnessed how committed she is to her role as a mentor.
Besides her authentic nature, she has the relevant expertise and knowledge to provide actionable feedback. Carmelina is inherently encouraging and great at motivating her mentees. She was instrumental in shaping the way I told my career story through my resume, in interviews, and in my websites: portfolio and LinkedIn profile.
In a few short conversations, I had the guidance I needed to land the job I wanted. She was able to build my confidence by always saying “I’m here for you!". She’s a true blessing to the design field – full of heart and useful tips to help you get where you want to be!"

Her ability to empathize and listen attentively allows her to provide tailored advice and guidance, ensuring that each individual she coaches receives the utmost support in their career development journey. Moreover, her extensive experience in design, spanning over 20 years, equips her with valuable insights and knowledge of the industry, which she readily shares with her clients.
​
One of Carmelina's notable strengths is her proficiency in leading and executing innovative teams and products, from initial user research to final execution in Agile methodologies."

“Carmelina has acted as my Design Mentor as I have transitioned into more senior IC roles, helping me find and address blind spots in my planning, deal with UX integration and maturity challenges in various organizations I have worked with, and generously providing me a wise, design-focused, human-centered sounding board when I have needed. Her kindness and warmth are matched only by her thoroughness as a thought partner - which has come in clutch more times than I can count.”
