Nicole Bonanno: Expanding the Vision of Pro Motion Coaching + Design

Nicole Bonanno has always believed in the power of transformation. As a Career Coach and Human Resource Practitioner with over 15 years of experience with the government and Australian Public Service, she has dedicated her career to helping people find their professional paths. Now, she is taking her own advice, expanding her business into a new realm that blends her passion for career development with her lifelong love of design. With the upcoming relaunch of her business as Pro Motion Coaching + Design, Nicole is on a mission to support not only individuals navigating career transitions but also small businesses and start-ups seeking to define and elevate their brand identity.

A Passion for Design, Reignited

Nicole’s love for design began as a child, when she would spend hours drawing and dreaming of becoming a comic book artist or children’s book illustrator. Over the years, this passion evolved into a fascination with graphic design, leading her to explore how colour, symbols, and imagery could communicate powerful messages. While her career path took her into human resources and career coaching, the desire to bring design into her work never left her.

“I’m a living example of how it’s never too late to change career direction,” says Nicole. “Sometimes it’s about completely changing fields, and other times it’s about finding ways to integrate your skills and passions.” For Nicole, this meant merging her expertise in career development with her creative talents. The result is Pro Motion Coaching + Design—a holistic space where individuals can get career support while businesses can receive expert branding and design services.

Pro Motion Coaching + Design: Where Careers Meet Creativity

With Pro Motion Coaching + Design, Nicole offers something unique: the intersection of career coaching and brand design. For job seekers, she continues to provide expert guidance, helping clients break through barriers, rediscover their confidence, and achieve their career goals. Her approach is embedded in deep empathy, using tools like Art Therapy to help clients access unconscious thoughts and express themselves in a non-judgmental environment.

Nicole is now expanding her focus to assist start-ups and small businesses. Understanding that the visual identity of a brand is critical to its success, she now provides tailored design services, including brand logo creation, business card design, and content development. Her approach to design is not just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling. Nicole believes that every brand has a story, and her goal is to help businesses convey that story through captivating, thoughtful design.

Elevating Brands Through Design and Emotion

What sets Nicole apart in her work with businesses is her holistic understanding of branding. She knows that a strong brand is more than just a logo or a colour scheme—it’s about creating an emotional connection with the audience. Drawing on her studies in Art Therapy, Nicole taps into the emotional resonance that certain colours, shapes, and designs can promote.

“The right use of colour and design can evoke powerful emotions,” Nicole explains. “That’s what creates a lasting connection between a brand and its audience.”

At Pro Motion Coaching + Design, she plans on using this understanding to help businesses build a cohesive and engaging brand identity. From start-ups looking to establish their place in the market to small businesses seeking a brand refresh, Nicole works closely with her clients to ensure that every element of their branding aligns with their mission and resonates with their target audience.

A Holistic Approach to Empowerment

For Nicole, Pro Motion Coaching + Design is more than just a business—it’s a reflection of her belief that everyone deserves to find purpose in their work, whether they are individuals seeking a new career path or entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses. Her holistic approach blends creativity with strategy, helping her clients not just survive but thrive in their professional journeys.

Nicole’s career coaching clients benefit from her extensive experience in government and human resources, as well as her compassionate, non-judgmental approach. She helps people who feel stuck, providing guidance on job applications, career transitions, and finding new opportunities. With the addition of her design services, Nicole offers a full suite of support, helping her clients not only succeed in their careers but also visually communicate their personal and professional brands.

The Future of Pro Motion Coaching + Design

With the relaunch of Pro Motion Coaching + Design, Nicole is excited to continue empowering individuals and businesses alike. Whether she is guiding someone through a career change or helping a business build a brand from the ground up, her focus remains the same: to bring out the best in the people she works with, helping them tell their stories, express their passion, and achieve success on their terms.

Nicole’s journey of transformation reminds us that it’s never too late to follow your passions and create something meaningful. Through her work at Pro Motion Coaching + Design, she’s helping others do the same—one career, one business, and one design at a time.
