With 15+ years navigating design careers across New York City, San Francisco, China, Singapore, and Australia, I've been through the ups and downs of building a career in this industry. I've worked at companies like Twitter, Pinterest, Yahoo, Grab, and now Canva - experiencing everything from startup chaos to corporate politics.
As a mentor, I bring a real-world perspective from shipping products that millions use daily, like GrabFood and Canva Sheets. These experiences show that I know how to break down complex career challenges into actionable steps. On the side, I've taught as an adjunct professor at California College of the Arts and China. I've also spoken at conferences across the world.
Whether you're dealing with difficult stakeholders, figuring out your next career move, or just need someone who gets the design world to bounce ideas off, I've been there. I'm passionate about helping designers build inclusive products while dismantling biases, and that same approach applies to mentoring. I'll help you see your blind spots, build confidence, and create a path forward that works.
In such a varied region, hyperlocalization is key.
