Hands-on support
I help designers and founders turn creativity into meaningful impact.
With 25 years in human-centred innovation (Samsung, Kohler, Ford), I coach on product vision, creative leadership, portfolio storytelling, and interview prep — blending empathy, clarity, and candour to help you grow with confidence.
If you’re starting up, developing, or designing a product — or if you’re a designer curious about how creative culture can elevate your work and your team — I can help you.
Across healthcare, consumer electronics, home furnishings, and automotive, my work has always been about creating meaningful value through human-centred innovation. My approach to mentoring is the same — practical, empathetic, and grounded in real collaboration.
Together, we’ll focus on:
• Creating meaningful value for both customers and business.
• Engaging with empathy, humility, and radical candour.
• Giving before taking — to build trust and shared success.
• Building authentic human connections with peers and stakeholders.
• Working with balance — avoiding bottlenecks and burnout for sustained creativity.
If you’re looking for support in:
• Progressing your creative career or stepping into creative leadership.
• Preparing for design interviews with clarity and confidence.
• Designing or refining a portfolio that tells a compelling story of your work.
• Managing and motivating design teams in global corporate settings.
• Identifying insights that spark paradigm-shifting product design.
• Thinking holistically across hardware, software, and service touchpoints.
Let’s work together to make your creativity real — and your impact visible.

It's my great fortune to have found Rob as my mentor right from the start. He was instrumental in helping me navigate my job interviews successfully. His professional and friendly feedback each week has significantly boosted my job search and personal growth as a designer. Rob's feedback is always specific and tailored to my needs. He is humble, approachable, and truly empathetic. With his extensive experience at various companies from Europe and Asia and across different products like consumer electronics and transportation, etc. He has a deep understanding of the industry and its cultures. I highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to grow in their design career, whether in personal development or professional advancement. You will not be disappointed—at least that has been my personal experience!
