About us.
The 25' rainbreak collective.
Hi, we are the 25`rainbreak collective!
We are change-makers and rebels — We're trying to shift a system that doesn't work for many of us..
We're perfectly imperfect — real, not polished. We believe in teamplay. We're curious about people, and we show up for each other.
We try to live what we believe in: transparency, freedom, curiosity, reliability, win-win thinking. Not always succeeding. Always showing up. Always learning.
Faical Bachiri
Hi, I'm Faical!
I grew up in East Germany as the son of a German nursery educator and an Algerian contract worker. My school reports praised my engagement and flagged my refusal to conform. Not much has changed.
I coach leaders and teams in the creative industry — the people who hold everything together while no one's watching. I work with what's actually there, including the messy parts. Especially the messy parts.
Three sons, four languages, too many books, one football club (Bohemians Praha 1905). I make mix tapes for fun and ask uncomfortable questions for a living.
Nina Kränsel
Hi, I'm Nina!
I'd describe myself as an enthusiast who likes to think outside of the box. I'm a big fan of teamplay — that's why I played in bands most of my life.
I'm a specialist in journalism, PR, communication, and music history. I became an expert on neurodivergent topics, especially ADHD — getting diagnosed with AUDHD in my forties opened many doors.
Around that time I became a big fan of coaching — I have a work coach and an ADHD coach with whom I work regularly, and I am thankful for having a great therapist.
I'm a dedicated lifelong learner and believe that change is possible — rarely overnight, but slowly and constantly.
Lia Gvichiani
Hi, I'm Lia!
My own journey has been as much personal as professional. After years of ignoring my wellbeing, I faced burnout and depression, which led me to take three years for deep reconstruction. I explored psychology, neuroscience, art, spirituality, and healing. I discovered I am a highly sensitive person with ADHD, and I learned about trauma, neurodiversity, and the power of compassion, boundaries, and self-acceptance. That journey transformed me into someone stronger, kinder, and more whole.
At Rainbreak, I’ve found a place where change is lived, not just spoken about. Here I’ve learned that safety, clear communication, and respect for boundaries allow people to grow and thrive.
Beyond work, I find joy in storytelling, drawing interconnected lines, and playing ukulele. For me, growth is not just professional — it’s a human journey I feel privileged to share.
Kristyna Nemcova
Hi, I'm Kris!
Originally from the Czech Republic, I’ve also lived in the UK, Spain, and Australia — shaping how I see people, work, and what really matters.
For over a decade, I was a senior manager in a global corporate environment, leading international teams and delivering results. On paper, everything worked. Until one day it didn’t. Burnout has a way of making things very clear.
Always the one who sensed what people needed before they said it, I spent years overachieving, giving, and holding it all together. Learning boundaries changed everything.
Today, I work as a coach, guiding people back to their authentic, imperfect, real selves.
Ross Zylman
Hi, I'm Ross!
I am a corporate employee, a manager of people, and a user of the oxford comma.
I've lived the daily grind on factory floors, in restaurant kitchens, at national parks, and in corporate offices. I have found that no matter where or for whom you work, that part of your life needs to be financially and emotionally beneficial. Because the cost of a hated job is 40 hours of regret per week.
Through Rainbreak, I want to create virtuous cycles. I want to demonstrate the benefits of keeping work tuned to a human reality, When work is formatted for people and proper tools are provided, the job can be done well. And that is emotionally beneficial - even rewarding.
Rich Williams
Hi, I'm Rich!
I’ve had some very strange jobs and also some very interesting ones. I first started making posters when I was a kid – out of Letraset and glue – and that must be the thing that started me on the road to being a graphic and web designer.
I’ve worked a lot in the creative industries; mainly in marketing but also in programming and promotion.
I’ve spent a lot of time in southern Spain and a lot of time in Glasgow. The weather in Glasgow is different from the weather in southern Spain. A lot different. I’m also English… hence why I’m talking about the weather so much.
Alongside the design stuff, I’ve spent the last few years writing music for theatre shows, setting up a podcast network, editing video and learning as much as I can about as much as I can.
