About Dr Melis Senova

Melis is a designer, leader, and author. She has spent decades thinking about the inner work that shapes outer outcomes — the work behind the work.

She is the author of two books published by BIS Publishers — This Human and Design Character — each a field guide for the person behind the design work. Both books are available direct in Australia and via BIS Publishers and selected booksellers internationally.

Melis coaches leaders through melissenova.com, her executive coaching practice.

thishuman.com is the reading companion to the books — a quiet chat interface trained on Melis’s writing, for reflecting alongside the text.
