I'm Ayka Williams. 15 years in tech. Currently building Swurl. I help designers navigate into leadership roles and build their own things. No more waiting, no more excuses. Let's get it done - I'm all in.
Having mentored countless designers and artists through their creative journeys, I understand we're often the most misunderstood folks in and outside of tech. Fair warning: I'm intense and will push you outside your comfort zone – but that's where the real growth happens.
First, we'll have a deep dive session where I get to really understand your work and vision. Whether you're a visual artist ready for your first gallery showing, a musician crafting your debut EP, or a designer building your dream portfolio.
We'll map out where you are and where you want to go. I'll evaluate your current skills and experience, then we'll craft a personalized learning roadmap.
Through deep-dive conversations, I understand where you are in your journey and what's holding you back. From there, your path unfolds naturally - whether that means weekly accountability sessions to build momentum, or connecting you with trusted partners who can advance your specific goals.
For February it will all be about taxes. Join us to hear guest speaker Lauren Tompkins talk to you about accounting and best practices. Ask her some questions and get your books looking right.
