Hands-on support
Hi! I'm Gareth! 👋🏼
I help UX, Product, and Design professionals who feel stuck or under-utilised move forward with clarity, whether that’s landing a better role, getting promoted, or stepping into leadership with confidence.
I’m a multi-disciplinary design leader with 20 years of experience, currently leading design at Benifex. Over my career, I’ve worked across Product, UX, Marketing, E-commerce, SaaS and Design Leadership - hiring, coaching, and growing designers at different stages of their careers.
Most people I mentor are:
- Early–mid career designers trying to break through to the next level.
- Senior designers preparing for lead or management roles.
- Design professionals who want clearer direction and stronger impact.
- Designers struggling with confidence, positioning, or visibility at work.
- Professionals from other backgrounds wanting to get into design professionally.
My mentoring style is practical, honest, and supportive. We’ll focus on:
- Career direction and decision-making.
- Portfolio and interview strategy.
- Leadership readiness and influence.
- Navigating workplace challenges and growth conversations.
- Building confidence without losing yourself
I don’t believe in generic advice. I tailor mentoring to your context, your goals, your constraints, and where you actually want to go.
If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready for your next step, let’s figure it out together.
5 out of 5 stars
Everything has run smoothly, I have found in Gareth a source of guidance and confidence in my design process. Constructive criticism is a staple in our meetings, and he has been consistently professional, respectful and punctual. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their design thinking/practice.

Highly recommend Gareth! I was looking for a mentor to help me improve my design skills and have another perspective on my work, as well as guide me at the start of my freelance journey with clients. After only a couple of sessions with Gareth, I can already say that I’m designing better, feeling more confident in my work, and I know I have someone cheering me on. I’m excited to see how things continue to progress. Thank you, Gareth, for everything so far!

Gareth helped me when I was feeling down and confused on how to navigate the job market. He helped understand different job roles / requirements and figure out where I was going wrong. I recommend him if you want to speak to a HoD to get a top down perspective when looking for a new job in product design.
