About Cloud Designs
Empowering Career Transformations with AI
Cloud Designs was founded with a simple mission: make career transitions accessible, transparent, and achievable for everyone. We believe that great careers aren't just found—they're designed.
Our Story
In 2024, Darec McDaniel noticed a pattern: talented professionals wanted to change careers but faced the same obstacles repeatedly. Uncertainty about skill gaps, overwhelming amounts of conflicting advice, and no clear roadmap forward.
Darec realized that AI could solve this problem. With the right prompts and trained models, AI could provide personalized, data-driven career guidance at scale. Cloud Designs was born from this insight.
Today, Cloud Designs has helped thousands of professionals successfully transition to new roles in tech, finance, healthcare, marketing, and beyond. Our average user reports 40% faster career transitions with greater confidence and fewer dead ends.
