Hands-on support
🎯 Trying to break into UX — without knowing if you're on the right track?
I help aspiring and junior designers build portfolios that make sense, tell a clear story, and hold up in interviews. I also help you figure out whether the path you're on is realistic — because that's just as valuable as portfolio feedback.
I won't promise you'll land a job in 6 weeks. The UX job market is genuinely hard right now, and I'd rather be straight with you than oversell what mentorship can do. What I can offer is someone who's been doing this since 2022, has seen what works and what doesn't, and will give you honest, specific feedback — not generic advice you could find in any article.
💼 Already in a UX role?
If you're working as a solo or embedded designer in a complex environment — B2B, fintech, enterprise — I can help you navigate the specific challenges that no bootcamp prepares you for: designing for power users, dense data, and stakeholders who don't speak design. This is where most of my day job is, and I'm happy to talk shop.
