🎯 Trying to land your first UX job?
I can help you stand out — even without big-name brands in your past.
Whether it’s polishing your CV and portfolio, crafting case studies that showcase your skills, or preparing for interviews, I’ll help you tell a clear story, think strategically, and present yourself with confidence.
I’ve supported many career changers, self-taught designers, and students with only personal projects. I know the challenges — and how to make the journey smoother.
💼 Already working in UX?
If you’re in your first role — especially as a solo designer — I can help you level up, navigate team dynamics, and grow your skills faster.
🚀 Building a digital product?
I also work with entrepreneurs and early-stage startups, providing UX audits and actionable feedback to improve both user experience and business results.
👋 About me
I’m a Senior UX Designer from Italy with 7+ years of experience in SaaS products (banking, real estate, risk management, digital signage) — mostly in B2B.
I’ve also worked in agencies focused on UX, UI, and CRO, and spent 4 years as a solo designer, so I understand the challenges first-hand.
With a background in Psychology and a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction, I stay active in the field through conferences, design events, and hackathons. I’ve been mentoring on MentorCruise since 2022 with consistently great feedback — and I’d love to support your growth too.
🌍 Parity pricing available!
If you're in a country with different income levels, message me and I’ll offer a custom rate after your trial.
📬 Weekly plan slots are limited — feel free to send me an inquiry to check availability.
⚠️ Availability note: I’m available for calls and mentoring after 6 PM CEST (GMT+2). Please make sure this works with your timezone before applying.

I truly had a very positive mentorship experience with her. Thank you, Teresa.
