Once upon a time, this was all just a dream. In fact not too long ago to be transparent. I was just like you, a creative with a burning passion and need to create, but lacking the confidence and boundaries to step into being the designer and creative I was purposed to be. I was burned out to say and attracting nightmare clients.
Things are a bit different now and I couldn't be more grateful and filled with the overwhelming passion and mission to help other creatives not only gain the confidence they need to succeed but the revenue and profit to match. I am now the CEO of a Multi-Six-Figure Design Agency | Marketing Firm and Millionaire Mentor & Educator to daring and audacious Designers, Creatives and CEOs.
Euro-Caribbean Brand Designer, Creative Director with the Audacity to Dream Big & Corporate Escapee turned Educator for the Modern Creative.
I see you, doing a little background check...
I'm Ahfeeyah
I'm so glad you're here and as you can probably tell I'm the kind of woman who believes in unapologetic transparency and its one of the things my clients rave about all the time. The truth is I wasn't always like this.
I was raised in a Middle-Class Carribbean home between the UK and America by a single mother who was an educator and total badass in my book. I learned at an early age the importance of advocacy for women and minorities and why it was important to shoot for excellence and so I did.
What I didn't realize is excellence requires often times doing what hasn't been done before or what others were afraid to do. I struggled with being bold and unapologetic while also being taught to be very "mannersable" and make my family proud. Well you can probably guess by now what I chose.
Bold and unapologetic comes with great rewards but the journey there can be a bit rocky. My boldness led me to being one of the top 10 Coaches in the Boston area and catapulted my career to corridors of Harvard University.
It was all a dream, and then it became reality but not before...
About ahfeeyah c. thomas
My mother was diagnosed with leukemia and very quickly I knew I had to create more time and freedom to be there to support her. My business and having a team allowed me to do that. I left my job in Human Resources at Harvard University and began running my business full-time wit the help of my team. It was at that moment that I realized that working for an amazing company is everything but building a legacy and teaching my clients how to do the same was what I was most passionate about.
I continued straddling the corporate and entrepreneurial fence until about 5 years ago when I had to finally make a decision.
Hard Core Truth: Our purpose is not hiding from us or waiting to pop out of from behind a tree in an elementary game of hide and seek. It is often and has always ben right in front of us.
For me I had been helping women and minorities go from passion to profit consistently for many years. I had built community and served as a thought leader and influencer so naturally the last step was acknowledging my gift and purpose and realigning in an authentic way.
.
Fast forward to today! i now run a multi-six-figure design studio and marketing firm with an amazing team fully walking in my purpose and making an impact on women and minorities. i also coach designers & creatives across the world how to grow and scale to profit as a creative.
