Most rising design leaders have mastered their craft — but not the politics, strategy, and business operations that decide who gets ahead.

At Canvas Consulting, we believe leadership is a creative act. We blend artful design with business mastery so you can lead with influence, communicate with clarity, and design a career as intentional as your work.

Canvas Consulting helps rising designers become confident, strategic leaders.

Through personalized 1:1 coaching, we give creative professionals the tools to master business operations, navigate organizational politics, and lead with influence — so they can design their career as intentionally as their work.

About

 
 

It all started when…

The “Canvas” Metaphor

A canvas is:

  • A foundation for creation — a place where ideas take form

  • Flexible and adaptable — can become anything the creator imagines

  • Structured yet open — a defined space that still allows freedom

  • Transformational — blank at first, then filled with vision and skill

That aligns perfectly with coaching: we give clients the framework (structure), they bring their creativity, and together we design your leadership journey.
