My Story

I designed my way out of a career that looked perfect and felt wrong

I'm a career and lifestyle design coach for ambitious professionals who want lives that feel as good as they look on paper. My own journey started in Big Law as a finance associate, and evolved into a purpose driven career in sustainability and innovation. Everything I teach comes from strategies I actually used to make that leap without burning my career (or myself) down.

As Founder of Success With Steph, I help professionals redefine success, build confidence in their purpose, and design lives aligned with their values, goals and growth.

I'm also Co-Founder of Doceo, a UK organisation that equips secondary school students with the skills, confidence and opportunities to reach their career ambitions, whatever their background. It keeps me connected to the earliest, hardest career questions people face, and it's why first-generation professionals are at the heart of my work.

Topic Areas

The things I go deepest on

The themes my community comes to me for, all grounded in lived experience.

First-gen professionals in law & tech

Navigating elite spaces without a playbook, a network, or someone who's been there. Until now.

Mastering LinkedIn

Turn your profile from an online CV into a pipeline of opportunities, recruiters and inbound offers.

Building your digital personal brand

Become known for what you want to be known for, credibly and consistently.

Personal finance for first-gen professionals

Earning well for the first time in your family comes with questions nobody prepared you for.

Balancing a business with a 9-5

Grow the side venture without torching your day job, your evenings or your health.

Self-confidence & wellbeing

Sustainable ambition: perform at your best without prioritising the grind over the mind.

CVs & cover letters

Turn your experience into applications that convert: practical structures, real examples, and my AI prompt library.
