welcome to career architect

We're So Glad You're Here!

Successful on paper does not always mean fulfilled at work.

here's our we work with people to find fulfillment:

  • Your Career: You have experience, pressure tested skills, and still want more from your working life. We work with where you are now and where you want to move, not your old titles.

  • Our approach: We care deeply about helping people enjoy their work again. Fulfilment, agency, and financial confidence change how people live. That is why we do this.

  • The result: Clear direction. Strong positioning. Real options in the market. Our clients stop drifting and start choosing roles and work on their terms.

Working with Career Architect means you stop drifting and start deciding.

You get space to think properly about your career, without noise, pressure, or outdated advice. We work with you to clarify what you want next, why you want it, and what success looks like now, not ten years ago. You learn how to position your experience so the market understands your value, not your job history. You leave with a clear direction, sharper confidence, and a plan you can act on immediately. Expect direct conversations, structured thinking, and practical tools you can reuse long after the work finishes.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

hey, I'm Nicole!

I started Career Architect to help smart professionals stop stalling and start moving with intent. I saw people with strong experience second guessing themselves, chasing titles that made no sense, or waiting for someone else to open a door. I knew we could cut through all of that and get them moving with clarity and confidence.

Ever since, people have come to Career Architect for straight talk, honest accountability, and a coaching style that feels energising and direct, including work like:

Took senior leaders stuck in internal roles and repositioned them into commercial leadership tracks through brand, visibility, and stakeholder strategy inside ASX listed businesses.

Partnered with founders and exec teams in scale ups to redesign leadership roles, clarify capability gaps, and hire for impact, not titles.

Rebuilt CVs and search strategy for 200 plus senior professionals, leading to role changes, promotions, portfolio careers, and faster re employment after redundancy.

Let's get your second half started, back on track, and skyrocketing.

build your second half on purpose

Your second half career advocate.

I am a career coach who says the quiet parts out loud. I work with smart, capable people who look successful and feel restless. I ask better questions, call out comfortable stories, and help you make decisions you have been avoiding. I am warm, direct, and allergic to career theatre. Expect honesty, structure, and a few uncomfortable truths, delivered with care. We will laugh, swear occasionally, and get you moving toward work that fits who you are now, not who you were a decade ago.

I am in your corner to help you make the second half of your career bigger, braver, and more deliberate than the first. Here's why people work with me:

  • You get an independent voice focused on your best interests, not safe advice or corporate norms.

  • You gain clarity fast, direction, positioning, and decisions, not endless self reflection.

  • You learn how to turn experience into leverage, credibility, options, and income.
