Our story
What if the answers you’re looking for aren’t out there—but already inside you?
In today’s world, we’re often pushed to fit in, work harder, and keep up. Too many of us feel lost or unsure of who we really are.
We created The Growth Compass to help people reconnect with their true self.
Using the Human Design system, we don’t try to change who you are. Instead, we help you see the clarity, ease, and direction that have always been part of you.
The Growth Compass helps you understand your unique nature, so you can live in alignment with who you truly are.
Our Team
Nati Chen
As a Certified Human Design guide and Health & Wellbeing Coach, I care deeply about helping you reconnect with your true self.
For years, I chased success and approval from others—until I burned out. Then I found Human Design, and it changed my life. Now, I’m here to support you on your own journey toward self-understanding and self-love.
I have a Master’s degree in Biomedical Communications from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor’s in Biology from Brown University. This scientific background helps me explain complex ideas in a clear and practical way.
I started The Growth Compass to make Human Design easier to understand and more available—so more people can live with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Carson Leung
Hi! I’m Carson—co-founder and the operational backbone behind The Growth Compass, and Nati’s husband.
I have a background in mathematics, a field that always felt to me like the closest thing to the Universe’s divine language—precise, austere, and beautifully logical. I first approached Human Design with skepticism, but came to recognize it as an extraordinary model—structured, coherent, and deeply aligned with the lived human experience. The more I engaged with it, the more I saw its power to reveal not just insight, but create real, lasting transformation.
To me, Human Design isn’t abstract theory—it’s a practical tool for creating a life that feels clearer, calmer, and more aligned with what truly matters.
At The Growth Compass, I help bring our vision to life by ensuring we deliver the best possible user experience—one that’s clear, modern, and grounded in practical, actionable insight.
I believe that when we understand ourselves and each other more deeply, we show up with greater compassion and purpose—and that kind of clarity can elevate not just individuals, but the collective.
Rooted in Vancouver
The Growth Compass was founded in Vancouver, a city held between mountains and ocean, where nature shapes daily life. This dynamic environment informs how we teach and guide.
Here, the cedars breathe in and out, cherry blossoms bloom and fall, and the tides rise and recede. The rhythms of nature show us that growth isn’t linear—it unfolds in cycles.
When we align with our own natural timing, we may find life flows with greater ease and harmony.
Through its diverse ecosystems, Vancouver mirrors our approach to supporting your journey. Just as this city holds space for many ways of being, we honour each person’s unique nature as an essential part of our collective humanity.
