About
Hi! I'm Nsisong (pronounced /SIS-song/). I'm a designer, strategist, and former Google UX consultant who’s worked across tech, government, and the arts. I’ve worked with some of the largest brands and global NGOs in the world, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you! When I'm not coaching, I enjoy running, attending film festivals and trying out desserts.
Cheryl also coaches for Design, College, and Life Coaching. View all.
Cheryl’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
30+ Career Coaching clients
I’ve spent over a decade coaching students, early-career professionals, and mid-career changemakers to clarify their goals and chart a course with confidence. My own career spans industries including healthcare, tech, retail, and government. I’ve worked with C-suite leaders at major brands like Sephora, led executive summits, and spoken on professional development panels at institutions like Harvard. During my five years at Google, I was promoted twice and recognized with multiple awards for championing inclusive design. I’ve served as a delegate to the United Nations and held board roles at The New School and AIGA NY, the largest professional design organization in the country. Through it all, I’ve remained focused on helping others identify and clearly communicate their strengths. I also bring formal training in strategic design and futures thinking—a discipline that helps you anticipate outcomes, weigh possibilities, and make better career decisions. Whether you’re trying to land your first role or take your next big leap, I coach with candor and care to help you move forward with clarity.

Why do I coach?
Through programs like Girls Who Code, Google’s Code Next, UNCF, Built By Girls, Girls on the Run, and Defy Ventures, I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals at many stages of their journey, whether they’re breaking into tech, exploring entrepreneurship, or navigating their futures as students. As the daughter of Nigerian immigrants who started from modest beginnings and went on to build a career at a leading tech company, I understand the power of guidance and representation. Hearing from clients that our work together helped them get into top universities, land internships, or launch their own ventures has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. One of the invitations of coaching is seeing potential in people before they fully see it in themselves—and creating the conditions where they can rise to meet it. Whether it's a student landing their first role or an experienced professional stepping into leadership, I believe there’s something powerful about holding space for someone else’s growth and watching what happens when they’re supported.
