Hi, I’m Yuan (源).

I’m passionate about supporting designers to grow their careers with intention. I’m a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), an instructor at RISD, and adjunct professor at California College of the Arts. I also lead product & brand design at Maven, an EdTech startup building the university of the future. Previously, I’ve led design at Airbnb, Twitter and Mozilla.

I have supported hundreds of designers to level up their careers. My clients are design professionals from creative agencies, startups, and high-growth companies such as Meta, Pinterest, and Slack. I’ve led custom workshops for the inaugural cohort of the On Deck Design program and created a mentorship program for the Airbnb design team.

If you’re a creative leader or manager looking to direct yourself toward a fulfilling life and reclaim your creative power, I'd love to support you through Energy Leadership Coaching.
