My Story

I’m Tee Alampi. My formal name is Tricia Alampi, Ph.D., though I no longer lead with titles. I earned them, lived them, and learned that achievement alone doesn’t anchor a life. My path has moved through academia, entrepreneurship, and design, with each season reshaping how I understand purpose, identity, and faith.

I began my career as an instructor, then moved into building and running companies. Some worked, some didn’t, and the wins and losses taught me what it means to create, risk, rebuild, and let go. After the pandemic, I followed a long-standing pull toward design and human-centered work, but even with progress, I still carried a deeper question. How do you find peace that doesn’t require proving, performing, or staying “on” all the time?

That question changed everything. Through a low season of closed doors, pruning, and stillness, I learned to slow down and live with intention rather than performance.
