About

I help UX researchers and designers with the things that actually move careers forward: portfolio reviews that tell you what's working and what isn't, interview prep based on what hiring teams actually look for, and straight answers about navigating real organizations.

The kind of insight that only comes from having been in those situations many times over.

You bring whatever you're stuck on — a project, a portfolio, a resume, a job application — or just pick my brain about anything UX. Either way, you'll leave with something you can use immediately.

I'm a Senior UX Researcher with 10+ years at Netflix, Aon, MassMutual, Arvest Bank, and Infosys, a mentor, a published author of Practical UX Design, and writer of all things UX related.

A quick heads up on pricing: I'm relaunching my MentorCruise practice after a break, and for a limited time I'm dropping my prices to make trying me out easy. Same experience, same direct feedback, at a more manageable price.

If you've been on the fence about getting a mentor, this is a good time to try it. If you're ready for a monthly commitment, book a free intro call and let's talk about what you're looking for. If you're not ready for that yet, book one of my individual sessions.

Either way, you'll get senior-level feedback from someone genuinely invested in your success.

Scott is a great person and also an experienced designer and mentor. Whit his knowledge, I've improved my process, especially in the discovery phase, by asking better questions and understanding design problems.

My time with Scott was pleasant, however I would have been best served purchasing a one-off session.

Hi Scott, just a heads up that I'll be ending this for now but when I'm ready, I'll know where to look! Cheers
