ABOUT

Hi, I'm Amedea. I help build products that matter, and the people who build them.

How we build shapes what we build.

I work with founders and teams who build with purpose and heart, and I coach women in tech and corporate who are ready to stop shrinking. Let's be honest: tech has too often been shaped by the same voices, chasing the same outcomes, and it shows.

I've spent 15+ years building digital products that make a difference, from healthcare platforms helping people manage their health to tools that improve financial literacy and simplify subscriptions. My work ranges from life-saving medical apps to complex enterprise systems.

I've guided teams from messy concepts to successful launches and co-founded Slovenia's first school for digital product design. Over the years I noticed the biggest blocks were rarely technical. That led me to coach training, women's circles and shadow work, and to the inner side of the work I do today.

My turning point was personal. Three years ago, my divorce showed me a pattern I'd been living everywhere: unspoken needs, quiet resentment, anger I couldn't feel, and a deep need to be useful, chosen and needed. At work, more responsibility felt like a reward. Seeing that changed everything, and it's the work I now do with other women.

What I bring:

Guidance

to help you step fully into your power, whether you're building a product or a career

Deep expertise

in product strategy and building a team

A human-first approach

that cuts through tech jargon

The rare combination

of strategic thinking and empathetic leadership

Lived experience

of the structures you work in, from startup chaos to enterprise complexity

I work with people who:

Want to build products that matter,

not just scale quickly

Understand

that "growth at all costs" usually costs too much

Believe

that diverse teams create better solutions

Are ready

for honest conversations about what it really takes to succeed

Want to launch movements,

not just products, and know that changing how we work starts with changing how we treat ourselves.

I believe in the power of learning, human connection and giving back.

I co-founded the digital product school ScreenSaverz, hosted 100+ events, spoken at conferences, and mentored at hackathons — building spaces where people grow and thrive.

Based in the middle of Europe, working with founders, teams AND WOMEN everywhere.
