About Melissa Hoey

Content Author at Missguided

Hi, I'm Mel. I'm a Senior designer and I have a real passion for mentoring and coaching a ‘design-thinking’ mentality. I foster encouraging and supportive mentorships through a coaching technique called co-coaching; this is where I build my coachee to have a positive design-thinking mindset through their own personal knowledge and experiences. I help designers to become more intuitive, creative and confident to handle difficult situations by themselves. I am essentially aiding them to come to their own solutions that benefit their own personality, skills and behaviours rather than being told what to do, learn or behave. This in return not only develops a designer quickly but most effectively in terms of activating their true potential and allowing them to feel more aware, and accepting and build overall confidence whilst remaining their authentic self within their professional career.
