About Carla Traini

Design Director at frog

Communication Designer, I am Design Director at frog.

I support creative minds, and entrepreneurs wanting to value their Unspoken Creativity. Sometimes, there is so much chaos around us, that all we want is someone who can tell us what to do. Challenge accepted.

I collaborate with creative thinkers, rebels, and change-makers who believe in utopias. At the crossroads of Design and Business, I strive to turn dreams into realities while navigating the challenges.

Recognizing the value of investing in people, I expanded my skill set in 2021 to include life and career coaching and NLP practice. My goal is to support creative thinkers, whichever their background. We are all creative beings.

I have been coaching and mentoring talents, aspiring to excel in design, IT, and technology fields, both as a volunteer on ADP list, for the start-up accelerator Efor All in Boston, for Schoolab in Paris, and as a private practitioner shaping my own methologies. I’ve also developed tools for fostering positive company cultures, emphasizing emotional safety, diversity, and inclusion.

Having spent a decade in Paris before settling in Amsterdam, I'm fluent in French and English, with native proficiency in Italian.
