Joseph Ramsawak

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 📜

Joseph Ramsawak is a budding leadership and coaching professional with a history of dynamically weaving leadership, psychology and design philosophy throughout his +10 year design career. With a background in human-centered design (HCD) working, his work hinges on cultivating a high level of integration with client teams, and shepherding them through empathy-focused HCD activities,  insights and activation strategy. 

His interest in personal transformation is less “career transition” and more “full-circle evolution,” as his experience as a  Peer Leader at Rye Country Day School, a Facilitator for Leadership Discovery Program at Dartmouth College,  and a Student Counselor at Prep-for-Prep all guide him on this  rearticulated path toward leadership coaching, clinical practice, and innovating in the realm of personal transformation. 

Pursuing parallel interests of design innovation and human transformation, Joseph is a scholar of psychology and design, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dartmouth College and a Master of Arts Degree in Design Research, Writing, & Criticism from the School of Visual Arts. En route to a PhD in Clinical Psychology, Joseph is currently pursuing coaching certification through Co-Active Training Institute alongside a Master of Science in Lifestyle Medicine at the University of Thessaly to (1)  augment his approach to personal change and clinical practice and (2) incubate design innovation concepts for this meaningful work. He is currently based in Crete, the southernmost island of Greece,  and welcomes new clients worldwide.
