A Blueprint built from your answers
You work through a set of reflection questions (between 30 to 60 minutes) on your own time. We find what’s blocking you, map a way through it, and build a 15–25 page Blueprint specific to your situation. Two people with the same goal get different Blueprints because their situations are different.

About
Why I built this
I’m a current athlete who has navigated trying to stay in a sport while managing an environment that had become genuinely difficult, competitive dynamics that made showing up feel costly, a relationship with competition that had shifted from something I loved to something I was just surviving. I was trying to push through it and what I needed was a clear picture of what was happening and strategies that fit my specific situation.
That experience is what eventually became Brilliant Patterns. I have a background in psychology, public health, and learning and development, with specific training in trauma-informed and equity-centered approaches, and I’ve spent years working on the question of what people to learn, know, or do to shift through moments of change. move through it. The Blueprints are built from that work.
They’re not therapy and they’re not coaching. They’re a way to find where you’re stuck, map a way through it, and get a plan that accounts for your constraints, including the ones that are hard to name.

What people say
Clients Testimonials
“I had never considered some of the career options that it outlined that align with my interests! It has given me a lot of encouragement to know there are potential careers that I feel fulfill my interests with opportunities for growth.”
Career Pattern, Anschutz Medical Campus
“This saves so much time and energy on finding options that work for you personally. More personal than a 1:1 conversation with a career or academic advisor.”
Career Pattern, Anschutz Medical Campus
“Tailored to the individual while also considering challenges and barriers. Usually resources are very general and don’t address individual limitations, challenges, and goals.”
