"I've known Angela for over 15 years, since my first gig out of design school. She is always a source of insight and I've come to rely on her professional opinion. In fact, Angela helped me make some of the biggest decisions in my career. I'm so glad I heeded her advice. She knows her stuff. Angela has a natural ability to understand how people will grow and stretch. She helps people unlock their true potential."

This program was designed to help you develop a toolkit that will adapt your career path for the future, and crack the code of what employers are looking for.
"I'm several months out of the TBD program and definitely feeling the results. Some results since TBD: billable consulting hours have more than doubled from last year, billing at higher rates, with one client on retainer agreement, more clients in target industries (fashion, decor and branding), more consistent clients, able to quit part-time and teaching jobs to focus on consulting, hired an intern, built a brand complete with a new line of products to be launched on Amazon in under 4 months, and 2 high profile speaking engagements! "

"When I contacted Angela, I was not having much success getting callbacks for interviews. I had applied to well over 750 jobs will little success and was frustrated by the recruiting process. I was chasing job opportunities without a real strategy or focus. Angela and her team, through the TBD process, helped me to get on track, focus on what was truly important to me, and go deeper and wider on what was driving me and satisfied me. I was all over the place because I was capable of doing many things and not focusing on pursuing things that were right for me. What I thought I wanted was actually not what I wanted to do--the process made me realize that. Instead of working for others, I should have been focusing on being an entrepreneur. I am much happier fulfilled now that I have started my own businesses. The process and coaching was good for helping me focus on what was really important to me. "

"The Thrive By Design course I took with Angela was a career highlight. I have a 20 year old brand strategy company that I needed to "refresh" and Angela's course proved to be extremely effective. In my journey to reposition my company, I also flew to Las Vegas to take Tony Robbins' 5-day Business Mastery course. Angela's Thrive By Design course was far and away more superior. (I walked out of the Tony Robbins course! It did NOT work for me) She knows the design and branding community inside and out, which was imperative to my revitalization efforts and she gets to know the individuals she's working with which was invaluable. The outcomes of this TBD journey were beyond expectations; I had 4 strong directions I could pursue at the end of the 8 week period. I now have two directions that have form-fitted together as one unique company and I'm now working toward bringing it all to life. I strongly recommend her service for anyone in design or branding who is considering a career change or entrepreneurs who need to revitalize an existing company or start a new one. The approach is business-like, yet fun, smart and efficient. An A+ in my book!!!!"

"Before I started working with Angela, I had just moved back to the US from China. I had been practicing design for 15 years, but having been out of the country for so long, my professional network was practically nonexistent. Industrial Design is such a niche profession that it was hard enough to find opportunities, let alone secure one. I realized I had to seek help to figure out what my strengths are and what I wanted to achieve. The best designers tend to be lone islands of confidence, but sometimes you have to reach out and find guidance to learn and get moving. Yeh IDeology helped me get on this path and move in that direction by not only looking for a job but by propelling myself into more new experiences to gain a better understanding my skillset and what I bring to the table."

" (Angela is) an amazing entrepreneur, an influential leader in the design and talent strategy space. She has helped me multiple times throughout my career and she’s helped tons of executives in the design and advertising space, rediscover their passion, realign their career goals and repackage them for the new economy. She is a powerhouse. "
