Meet Lydia Frens
I founded Career Designs because I'm passionate about helping individuals understand who they are and where they might fit in the world of work.
I see work as an outlet for the talents and temperaments unique to each one of us as well as a way of creating community because we can benefit from the expertise of those around us.
I've been a career counselor in college career development offices, served as a high school internship director, and worked in the human resources department of a manufacturing company. I hold a Master of Education degree, with an Adult and Higher Education focus.
"I love that Lydia offers to meet with teens and help them discover their gifts, talents and interests. She also gave some very helpful resources to gauge trends in the job industry and choose fields with greater future potential.
It was very helpful!"
"Lydia helped me build my network and think differently about the job search. Her coaching showed me how my skills and interests could fit into career fields I hadn't considered. Her compassionate and supportive style helped make finding work less stressful."
“With Lydia's guidance, I was able to identify my strengths and narrow down my job search after graduating college. I am currently in a career that I love which I credit to knowing where I fit best in workforce. I simply cannot recommend Lydia enough!”
