story of 'Career Growth'

I got my first job at 14, sorting Christmas cards at the post office. Over the next 15 years, I worked in clothing retail, big box logistics, hospitality, and sales before finding my niche in UX design.

With each industry I moved through, I found similar career frameworks come up over and over again. Each framework I studied taught me how to define clear goals, set clear expectations, and tie rewards directly to results. But most importantly, it taught me how to value my skills and get compensated fairly for my contributions.

All of these learnings are what inspired me to create the framework you’re about to read today. It’s designed to ensure you are treated fairly and rewarded appropriately based on your skills—not gut feelings. Whether you’re a design lead wanting to create a level playing field or a designer seeking structure to grow and be recognised, this framework is for you.

This isn’t just about design anymore. It’s about building motivated individuals and driven teams where your success drives company success—because when people thrive, businesses thrive too.
