To What
Matters
Reigniting Purpose, Aliveness & Engagement for the People in Tech.
After 14 years of leading UX Research (ex-Google), I now focus on the human experience helping tech professionals and teams unlock sustainable performance and lasting fulfillment.
Trusted by professionals and teams from world-class companies.
Working with me
I know what it’s like to be successful but unfulfilled. I spent 14 years inside elite tech innovation, learning firsthand that a 'dream career' on paper doesn't guarantee a fulfilled life.
I realized that integrating the heart is the secret to producing our finest work. I help tech professionals and teams transition from "surviving the grind" to working with purpose, passion and aliveness.
My services help individuals and teams to create purpose-driven work that is an expression of who they are.
I weave together modern psychology & coaching with ancient wisdom, grounded in mindfulness and yoga.

My Approach
Career fulfillment has many colors. For you, that might mean staying where you are and reshaping your role, moving to a more aligned team or company, or making a bolder shift. We’ll explore the full spectrum, without forcing a single answer.
I designed a safe space for you to safely:
Remember: Reconnect with your dreams and gifts to remember who you are and what you came here to do.
Release: Learn skills to overcome fear, self-doubt and limiting beliefs.
Re-Design: Create your path and make decisions aligned with what matters most to you.
Realize: Take goal-aligned action with confidence and clarity.
As a result, work shifts from draining your energy to fueling your creativity, joy, and aliveness.
Stories of Walking Your Path
Patricia Machado
CX Insights Manager, Ex-Meta
Before
Patricia came to me carrying a quiet grief.
She had a lifelong dream of becoming a filmmaker, and felt she was wasting her life working in tech, building someone else’s dream instead of her own.
After
Today, Patricia isn’t dreaming about filmmaking anymore, she is a filmmaker.
Together, we reframed her relationship to work and creativity.
Instead of seeing tech and art as competing forces, Patricia learned how to integrate them.
Now, she is intentional about her time and energy, and her team supports her creative path. She attended 2 screenwriter residencies, finished her first feature script, and has a clear timeline to fully transition into her new path.
Takeaway
You don’t have to quit your job to honor who you are and what makes you come alive.
Maya Sueno
UX Research Manager, Ex-Google
Before
On paper, Maya had it all:
– A prestigious Silicon Valley name on the resume & high compensation
– A 15% raise during company-wide layoffs & early promotion into management
Inside, Maya felt burned out, overwhelmed, and quietly disconnected from what truly mattered to her.
After
She stepped out of the manager role, realizing it was never her dream. Through our work, Maya gave herself permission to question a path that looked “right” but didn’t feel right.
Today, Maya is building an independent, location-flexible career she controls. She enjoys working from anywhere and runs UX trainings for companies.
Takeaway
Just because you can succeed at something doesn’t mean it’s what you’re meant to do.
