My name is Lyria Bartlett.  Born in Houston, TX and raised in Columbia, MO. I am a creative coach.  That’s the best way that I know to describe my life.  I am an architect by trade and training, a dreamer at heart, a coach in both the academic classroom and the dance studio.  Most of the principles I work with are life lessons about collaboration and good citizenship viewed through a designer’s lens.  The skills are different but the strategies are the same: learn to identify the problem, evaluate ways to approach it, create a solution that fits best within the given circumstance.  I proudly live in the Old Southwest neighborhood of CoMO with my husband – Chef Brook Harlan – my daughter – Lily – and our dog – Gaucho Bacon Bartlett Harlan.

I was featured as a member of the Top 20 Under 40 class of 2016 by the Columbia Business Times.  Check out the article here –> Top 20 Under 40
