Hands-on support
I'm Michel Ferreira, a design leader, mentor, and podcaster with 20+ years of experience at Atlassian, Shopify, and Booking.com. I’ve built and scaled design systems, UX strategies, and product experiences that serve millions of users across enterprise software, e-commerce, and mobile platforms.
I don’t just help designers improve their portfolios—I help them think strategically, communicate with clarity, and scale their impact. My approach is practical, direct, and focused on real-world growth—whether that’s mastering design systems, A/B testing, or storytelling for influence.
My Mentorship Focus:
• Design Systems & Enterprise UX – Learn how to scale design for complex products.
• A/B Testing & Data-Driven UX – Master experimentation & measuring design impact.
• Storytelling & Strategic Thinking – Present your ideas with clarity & confidence.
• Career Growth & Leadership Readiness – From mid-level to senior & leadership roles.
I’ve mentored hundreds of designers through CareerFoundry, Springboard, Dribbble, and Echos, helping them land jobs, get promoted, and develop high-impact UX skills. My mentees typically see concrete career results within 3-4 sessions, whether that’s portfolio improvements that land interviews, strategies that earn promotions, or systems thinking that expands their influence.
If you’re serious about pushing your craft further and want to work with a mentor who gives real feedback, not generic advice, let’s connect.
Send me a message with your biggest career challenge, and let's start charting your path forward.
