Being born and raised in Westchester, California, I was lucky to have access to California’s beautiful landscapes - enjoying the sunshine and access to the beaches, deserts, and mountainous terrain. As my love for skateboarding, and the culture that surrounded it in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, I began to find myself listening to early punk albums, reading zines, and engulfing myself in the counter-cultures associated with those at the time. After high school, I continued my studies at Santa Monica Community College, focusing on fine art, with an emphasis on painting and drawing. After completing my first semester I took a 6 month hiatus as a road crew member for a punk band called The Orangeburg Massacre. After returning to California, I found a love and appreciation for making flyers, and other promotional items for art events happening around Los Angeles - which quickly blossomed into a fascination with wanting to learn how to design. That fascination is how I found myself on my way to San Francisco where I continued my studies at SF Art Institute, as a Design and Technology Major, narrowing my studies on branding and the history and theory of graphic design With 10 years of experience, and counting, I have had great mentors, and amazing opportunities to learn from very talented creatives.

I coach the whole person. Creatives and leaders who are redefining what —and who — success looks like. All of my clients have found some sort of success, and realized there’s more that they’re looking for. They sense untapped potential, want to avoid burnout, spread joy, and be part of creating a future with justice for all. They work with me to unlock deep beliefs and behaviors that lead to “epiphanies” and “breakthroughs” (my client’s words, not mine), which ultimately bring them to outcomes like: doubling income (while working half the time)! breaking into the c-suite! writing a book! re-starting a DJ career! landing their dream client! huzzzah! I’m also proud of the less-shiny outcomes like winding down a startup with integrity or leaving a job or relationship that’s not serving you. What people have to say: "Literally life changing." "An arty and spiritual sort who is also type-A and business minded. I cannot recommend her more highly." "If I could go back in time to starting my first business, I would tell myself to hire Leah. She helps me question assumptions, see beyond racing to the next milestone and think more critically about sustainable success, both through self-awareness and strategy." "It’s her superpower: she absorbs my word vomit and reflects back definition and clarity. The gift of speaking with her regularly over time means she can remind me of my patterns and hold me accountable to being myself. She helps me see both the past and the present with piercing clarity, which means I can make hard decisions with conviction." Before starting my coaching practice, I led product teams for 10 years, won Apple's App of the Year, built over 40 products, and advised at a blockchain incubator. Success and burnout came hand in hand, challenging me to look at the way we work and our relationship to it. A sabbatical to travel, rest, draw, cook, and reflect shapes my practice as much as my years at standup do.
