This is the space where that changes.
Through intuitive creative self-expression that reveals the hidden narratives running the show.
The gap isn’t a character flaw. It’s what happens when we’ve never been given the tools to truly examine what we think we know about ourselves — and whether it’s actually true.

The problem with self-help isn’t the information. It’s that we filter everything through the very thinking we’re trying to change. You can’t examine the lens you’re looking through while you’re still looking through it.
Talk therapy can offer relief. But relief without a mechanism for integration means the same patterns resurface. You leave the room feeling better and return to the same life.
Community works when there’s a cultivated container for insight and growth. Without one, it becomes an echo chamber — or worse, an audience.
What works is the one source that’s been here all along — YOU.
Change by Design’s creative practice is where self-awareness unfolds in layers. Together, we navigate through three interwoven stages — learning to sense, listen, and witness The Self with curiosity, compassion, and truth.
This practice is not new; humans have always made sense of themselves through creative expression. Every culture, every era. This practice is simply that – made intentional.
We begin with creative practices — drawing, painting, journaling, mark-making — that open access to the subconscious. This is where suppressed truths and untapped insights live.
Through intentional conversation — not to psychoanalyze or fix, but to reflect and connect — we begin to notice how early beliefs, habits, and societal conditioning have quietly shaped our reality.
This work is more than a series of aha moments — those are difficult to integrate on their own. Together we co-create simple, intuitive ways to carry self-awareness into daily life. Because change only lasts if it’s lived.
Every session is a co-creation.
You bring YOUR truth. I hold the mirror.
What we discover becomes the map for changing your life – by design.
This isn’t about finding the correct answers.
It’s about asking better questions… then noticing what feels true
As we evolve, not revolve.
For example, we explore questions like:
Book A Free Conversation
A simple, no-pressure call to get acquainted and explore whether working together makes sense.
Design Your Path
Together we’ll shape a creative practice built around you — your life, your pace, your truth.
Begin Your Practice
Creative self-expression as a way of life — rooted in a tradition humans have returned to for centuries.
Stories and gentle prompts that foster greater self-awareness of what’s happening in your life, not only around it. A small dose of creative practice that helps you connect with the parts of you drowned out by inherited messaging and the pressure of doing over being.
Working with Kami Pollvogt has been a great blessing to both my husband and me. She is gentle, compassionate, and a great listener. She helped us focus on our communication processes; between ourselves, yes, but also with my parents so that we could understand their negative behaviors and the best way to respond to them. Because of her inputs, we have made several positive changes. Kami also worked with me on my personal goals. I love the creative ideas that she used to help me learn key concepts and apply them to my life. Along with my strong faith and Kami’s respect for my values, I feel I have made great improvements. I highly recommend Kami to anyone seeking support or growth.

Working with Kami has definitely taught me to move through my personal fears and blocks. Her natural creativity is fun, bright, and very intriguing. While working with Kami, she created a safe place to express and tap into my own natural creativity. A part of me that I haven’t engaged in, in a long time. Her kindness and genuine spirit allowed me to express myself in starting my own business, also co-ownership of another business. I have broken through many of my blocks learning to be overcome my fear of lack of creativity. Kami has blessed me with a new way of life for myself and others.

It’s so refreshing when my ideas are valued. Kami listened to me about what I hoped for in my future. Together we worked on a plan to set me on the right path toward realizing my goals. Kami is so good at what she does! Thank you, Kami!

Imagination → We’re all born with it.
Ingenuity → Use it to break norms.
Resourcefulness → Fuels our growth.
Creativity → It’s part of our core.
Made. Built. Invented. Fabricated. Produced. Designed.
We use these words every single day to describe dinner, a project plan, a solution pulled together on the fly. Then turn around and say “I’m just not creative.”
Here’s what we know to be true: if you’ve ever asked why, imagined a different way, or figured something out —You Are Creative.
Creativity is not solely about being artistic. It’s about being alive to possibility.
With creativity and possibility at our side, we are equipped to open the door to observing the multifaceted people we are.
This practice is not new. Humans have always used creativity to understand themselves. You are not the exception; you are part of a lineage that stretches back further than any self-help book.
A Journal or Canva + Powerful Inquiries + Intentionality + Trustworthy Community = Creatively Cultivating Consciousness
Where intuition becomes visible, self‑awareness becomes actionable, and your inner world becomes a place to shape with clarity and care.
Hi, I am Kami.
I created Change by Design for women like me—curious, deeply feeling, and done with the idea that self-worth must be earned through accomplishments, giving, or perfection.
As a creative self-awareness practice guide, I will not tell you who or how to be. I’m here to walk beside you as you uncover what’s been buried, bypassed, or handed to you by family, society, and systems that never truly cultivated your conscious self-awareness (or choice).
The approach combines intuitive, creative self-expression with reflective conversation to discover the self we weren’t taught to acknowledge or articulate with our own insights, understanding, and words.
This work is not linear. It’s not always easy. But it’s always honest.
This is a lifetime’s work.
It would be an honor to walk part of that path with you and show you how it works.
