Finding My IKIGAI Sweet Spot – A Professional Bio
Entrepreneur, Certified Life Coach, Meditation trainer, Art director in the game industry, sculptor, Artist.
I have always loved being creative. When I think about myself, it is a core characteristic of who I am. I began art school as a kid, and after years of learning and practicing, I became a sculptor at the Academy of Fine Arts. But another important part of me was my curiosity about humans, which led me to explore further. So, I pursued university studies in Culture and Anthropology at the same time. I had so many interests that choosing just one path was really difficult. I worked as a professional artist, participated in exhibitions, and explored different creative fields like puppetry, set design, advertising, and industrial design. But none of them felt like the right fit for me.
​
After immersing myself in various creative fields, I found my passion in the gaming industry, which sparked my curiosity like never before. It was a great choice. I worked in different roles, learned many digital tools and software, and helped create incredible worlds with my teammates. I was flying high. That’s how I ended up leading the visual design of a very cool retro-style video game set on a space shuttle in the '90s. But after seven years, it was time to close another chapter in my life.
​
I decided to go all in and follow the whispers of my intuition, which had never been clear to me before. I wanted to pursue something that had always been in the background of my life—my fascination with the human mind and its potential, my passion for exploring the possibilities that life experiences offer. I listened to my heart and decided to start my own business, which allowed me to integrate all my interests. I became a certified life coach through Mindvalley and studied the science behind how people think and grow. Now, I use all my creativity to help people create the best experiences and lives for themselves. And that makes me truly happy—this is where I see my purpose.
My WHY
I have always been a high achiever, but my life was beautiful only on the outside. For 15 of my adult years, I struggled with dysthymia—a chronic mood disorder with episodes of depression. The first ten years felt like living a double life—putting on a brave face while internally fighting a life-or-death battle with my own thoughts. There were truly dangerous moments when I had no idea what was happening to me. I didn’t know where to seek help. My professional life was thriving, but my personal life was falling apart.Through therapy, I spent years building myself from the ground up, learning to understand my emotions, thinking patterns, and behaviors.
Just when I thought I had overcome my illness, it resurfaced at the most unexpected moment—when I had checked off every box on my list of things that were supposed to bring me happiness: when I started a family. From that moment, my story took a new turn—I had an extra reason to change. My well-being and happiness were no longer just about me; they would also affect my child. This is when I discovered coaching as a natural next step in my growth process. I became my own coach, learning from books and every available source how to create happiness for myself. I was also lucky to meet many great teachers along the way.I found a wise doctor who reinforced my approach to training myself. He explained to me that I needed to "grow" new neural pathways in my brain—ones responsible for experiencing joy and happiness. That realization changed everything.
​
I fully committed to studying neuroplasticity, experimenting with different techniques, developing new habits, and training my brain to work for me rather than against me. Over time, I realized that my illness had become a reason to set new goals, push beyond my comfort zone, and discover my own strength. I transformed from someone who merely reacted to life into someone who actively creates it—not just to feel good, but to see where the true limits of my potential lie.
​
My experience working on myself and with others has made it clear to me that many of us limit ourselves. We don’t see our own strengths, capabilities, and potential. We either fail to use them or direct them toward the wrong causes, which can become the source of our misery.The most beautiful thing is that when we train our inner side, everything around us begins to change and flourish. Each of us has the power to do this.This is a paradigm shift—where joy and flow are not distant points on the horizon but states of being that we can learn to create for ourselves. We can consciously nurture them and return to them whenever life’s challenges try to bring us down.
​
Once you master this — almost anything becomes possible. We are all the creators of our own lives, and the only limit is our imagination. Now I love my life, and this is WHY we're meeting here.
