One-off sessions with Marina
One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.
Ask me any 3 UX career-related questions. Example questions I was asked in the past: 1. How do I choose which part of UX to focus on? 2. How do I move into UX strategy? 3. How can I learn to be a good leader …
During the session, we'll identify your natural strengths and explore how you could lean on them to accelerate your career growth. 🚨 If you are a paid subscriber to UX Mentor Diaries, DM me on substack first and I'll send you a discount code for …
👋 Hey there! If you're serious about breaking free from the career autopilot that's been holding you back, you’re in the right place.
Let me cut through the BS: most UXers are stuck in the same rut because they’re following the script everyone else handed them. "Work on your portfolio," they say. "Learn the latest tool," they nod approvingly.
But here’s the truth nobody tells you—it's not about adding more skills or certifications. It’s about playing the game smarter, not harder, and using your strengths to flip the script in your favor.
For over 20 years, I've been where you are and beyond. I’ve coached thousands of UXers from stuck to standout—landing roles at Amazon, Meta, Spotify, and other big names. These aren’t just feel-good success stories. These are real UXers who learned how to stop sabotaging their own progress and started making moves that actually matter.
As your career coach, I’m not here to fluff up your resume or rehash the same tired advice. I’m here to help you see the gaps you’re blind to, lean into your unique strengths, and build a strategy that’s not just about doing more—but about doing what actually gets results.
We’ll dive into your goals, your strengths, and the roadblocks you’re facing.
We’ll map out a plan that cuts out the fluff and gets you moving.
I’ll be your go-to sounding board every step of the way—because this isn’t just coaching, it’s about rewiring the way you think about your career.
This is your chance to get real about where you’re headed and start making the moves that count.
Ready to stop coasting and start climbing?
Let’s do this. 🚀

Oh my goodness, the session exceeded my expectations! Firstly, Marina's friendly demeanor made me feel incredibly comfortable and receptive to her guidance. This created an atmosphere where I was open to all of her insights and didn't feel any sense of judgment. Secondly, the feedback and recommendations provided were practical and included suggestions that I wouldn't have thought to include in my CV. She also shared relevant examples to illustrate her recommendations, which made it easier for me to relate to. As a result, I left the session feeling more confident than when I initially entered. Marina is absolutely amazing!
