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 can't thank John enough for his incredible mentorship over the past 8 months. 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. If you're looking for a mentor who is genuinely invested in your success and growth, I highly recommend John!

I had the privilege of being mentored by John for over six months, and his guidance has truly transformed my career. As a Senior Product Designer who hadn't experienced strong design leadership before, I found John's expertise and empathetic approach incredibly refreshing and supportive. John helped me tackle various challenges while I was applying for new jobs. From tailoring my resume and creating case studies for my online portfolio to preparing for interviews, he guided me through the entire process seamlessly. One of the biggest hurdles John helped me overcome was presenting my work through engaging storytelling. His strategic feedback and tailored advice turned my career and work into a cohesive, compelling narrative. The insightful articles and practical tools he provided were also invaluable. John's mentoring approach is both structured and adaptable. He took the time to understand my specific needs and goals, and he was always ready to adjust his strategy based on my progress and any new challenges that arose. I am incredibly satisfied with John's mentorship. His guidance has had a lasting impact on my career, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow in their career, regardless of their level of seniority.

John is so talented at what he does. This is my second review of my experience under John's mentorship and would write many more if I could. John took me under his wing after completing bootcamp at Georgia Tech and introduced me to amazing companies that I worked with. He is patient and kind and gives practical advice that is tailored to your personal goals. My time with John was invaluable to my career trajectory and gave me the confidence and support I needed to get to where I am today. I would highly recommend John as a mentor many times over!
