Meet Elayna, Founder of INFOLD Studios

Hi, I’m Elayna! As a Design Strategist and Evolution Coach with over a decade of experience in design, mindfulness, and team development, I work with leaders and organizations to create transformation from the inside out. I’ve had the privilege of helping VPs, Directors, and Managers enhance team collaboration, drive innovation, and deliver impactful results through custom workshops and design thinking training.

I’ve coached ambitious individuals toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment, helping them design lives rooted in peace, confidence, and purpose. With my background as a Certified Energy Practitioner, I bring a grounded presence to my work, assisting clients in managing their energy and finding clarity even amid chaos.

I was selected to gave a talk at TalkUX Taipei 2017. I shared my story of guiding my design team to work in an agile way.

I also facilitated a workshop based on Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers.

Through over 50 workshops at Fortune 100 companies, countless coaching sessions, and ongoing community work, I’ve seen firsthand the profound impact of intentional transformation. INFOLD Studios isn’t just about “doing” differently; it’s about being differently. By embracing these practices, my clients experience renewed purpose, improved relationships, and a deepened connection with themselves and their work.

Here are additional ways that I’ve made a significant impact:

  • I've spearheaded more than 20 employee-centric workshops that enhanced culture and optimize processes, leading to profound organizational transformations.

  • I've trained and mentored over 200 professionals in Design Thinking and Facilitation, equipping them with the skills to navigate challenges and solve problems from a human-centered perspective.

  • I've coached and mentored over 100 people in meditation and mindset techniques, enabling them to tap into their inner strength and overcome obstacles with inspiration and confidence.

Impact

In my years of coaching individuals and teams through various challenges, I've noticed a common thread.  Every relationship in our work and lives yearns for more compassion, trust, and understanding.

INFOLD Studio’s Origin story

INFOLD Studios was created from my journey of witnessing the power of mindfulness and design to spark lasting transformation. The name represents our commitment to enfold fresh ideas and diverse individuals with openness and the space to be truly seen and heard. At INFOLD, we value:

  • Openness — the ability to listen deeply, welcome new perspectives, and release the need to be “right.”

  • Intuitive Nurturing — supporting forward-thinking, open-minded leaders with the guidance and resources they need to thrive.

  • Sustainable Transformation — focusing on real, lasting changes that enhance resilience, promote well-being, and adapt to the evolving demands of modern life.
