👋 Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile!
I currently lead UX for Apple's communication apps; Messages, Facetime, Mail, Phone and Contacts. I have 15+ years of experience designing mass-scale products at Google; Gmail, Meet, Messages, and now Apple, plus a strong startup background.
Why I love to mentor:
Mentoring is all about paying it forward. I’ve been fortunate to work on some of the most impactful products out there, and I love helping others navigate their way to similar opportunities 🚀. There's something incredibly rewarding about seeing my mentees grow, land roles they’re excited about 🎉, and thrive in their careers. I’ve been on hiring committees and I know what stands out, and now, I get to share that inside knowledge with talented designers ready to take the next step.
As your mentor, you’ll receive hands-on support 🤝. All my mentorship includes daily offline feedback and regular video calls. Our first call will involve a career worksheet 📋, and from there, I'll provide detailed notes and a structured plan tailored just for you.
I come prepared to our sessions with thorough notes 📝 and structured guides, focusing on being inquisitive, personalized, and collaborative. You’ll leave each session with a clear sense of your next steps and the reasons behind them.
I’ve mentored 200+ designers with a strong success rate in landing UX roles and promotions. My approach ensures you’re not only job-ready but set up for long-term success 🌱.

John is such a great mentor! He helped me quickly understand all the important aspects of a whiteboard challenge in 2 sessions, which was crucial in my preparation for an incoming interview with a large tech company, and I got an offer from that company successfully. John's feedback was clear, thorough, and constructive, from which I can tell he's a very experienced and exceptional designer! He also prepared some help documents for me to review beforehand which was also super thoughtful and helpful—I've worked with a few other mentors in the past, and John was the only on who shared additional learning materials with me. In short, I hight recommend John if you are looking for a great mentor who can help with your career growth or interview preparation.

His guidance and insights have been instrumental in advancing my UX design skills, helping me grow both creatively and strategically. John's personalized advice, actionable feedback, and support made a huge difference in my development as a designer. Thanks to his mentorship, I was able to land my first UX design role at an amazing company—a milestone I couldn’t have imagined without his help.
