Change is constant.

Let's navigate it together.

Change is constant.

Let's navigate it, together.

I combine Design Thinking, Professional Coaching, and Learning Design to help leaders, teams, and cross-cultural professionals move through change with more clarity and confidence.

My philosophy

Empathy. Personal. Global.

I believe real change starts with structured thinking and an authentic conversation. Whether I am facilitating a team through a Design Thinking challenge or coaching an individual through a cross-cultural transition, my approach combines practical tools with lived experience across New Zealand, Australia, and the Philippines, to help you move from where you are to where you want to be.

What leaders say

"Andrae brings calm energy and seamless collaboration to everything he does, from coordinating a high-pressure event like Impact Week Philippines 2022, to a year of co-hosting our podcast together. He's responsive, reliable, and delivers outstanding work while keeping things genuinely enjoyable. I recommend him without hesitation."

Carolin Taenzer

Managing Director of Impact Week, Germany

(Global Design Thinking Alliance member)

"Andrae consistently cuts straight to the core of a problem and reframes it to uncover solutions beyond the obvious. His strategic depth and dedication come through in everything he's involved in."

Tse-Min Tseng, MIM

Founder of Lumegaia AI, Taiwan

Gen AI Educator, 6 Years in Business Strategy Innovation, 10 Years in Design Thinking & Agile

"Andrae is engaging, animated, and very much present to his audience. He flows into topics and inquiries fluidly, and allows room for others' thoughts and ideas, integrating much more conversation on the topics presented."

Structured, not generic.

Every session or workshop is built on Design Thinking and Coaching frameworks, not one-size-fits-all advice.

Proven in the room.

Workshops facilitated for organisations including Accenture, Sun Life Insurance & Investment, De La Salle-College of St Benilde, and Children's Garden of the Philippines.

Lived, not theoretical.

New Zealand, Australia, and the Philippines shaped how I coach people through the same kind of change.
