A Life of Design to Life: by Design
Yes, me too.
I was one of the 17% impacted by the layoffs at Spotify. Before you read the rest of this article, I have SO MANY talented people to connect you to if you’re hiring. Please comment any opportunities you may have.
My partner and I picked up our lives and moved to London 10 months ago for my job as a Staff Service Designer at Spotify UK. It sucks, but I always knew it was a possibility. Will I stay in London? Probably not. Will I move back to Toronto? Maybe, but I’ve never been one to stay in one place for long — the sea always to calls me.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge opportunist and optimist. I take moments like this as a redirection. So, this is the perfect opportunity to announce that I will soon be an ICF Certified life* coach.
To be frank, I thought “life coaching” was silly when I first heard of it. I would expect a person who is a life coach to have a perfect life. I now realize it is the beautifully flawed that have the most to give in coaching. Coaching has almost nothing to do with the coach and everything to do with the way they can help a client find the answers within themselves.

When I had a life/ leadership coach, my life truly transformed. I want to be a part of that beautiful transformation for others. *I don’t quite know what to call myself yet. Things that I would be great at coaching on:
- Young women at work — influence, confidence, leadership
- Queer folks — coming out, being visible, live a life of authenticity
- Bold moves & big changes — moving abroad, travelling alone, switching careers, or anything else scary and new
Oh, AND! I started a podcast. It’s called my Big Bold Podcast. It’s on all the podcast platforms.
There. I did it. I did the scary thing. And you can too! If you’d like to do a free session with me, send me a DM and I will book you in.
If you have found this article and are not familiar with me, hi. I’m Roxi — I’m known as a design /innovation strategist and futurist. I have taught college courses and audiences about solving problems (for companies or the world) and looking forward. Now I want to help you solve problems in your own life.
… This article probably went in a different direction than you expected. So did my life. I bet yours did too. Or maybe it’s about to. Let’s make bold moves together.
