Hi! I am an award-winning UI/UX and visual designer with experience working at Fortune 500 companies and top creative agencies. Following a decade-long corporate career, I took on an entrepreneurial path and founded Path Unbound, a UI/UX design school dedicated to training the next generation of designers who are business and career-ready.
My design work has been recognized internationally by major design awards. I have been an adjunct faculty at top universities in the US, and global education institutions and am often invited as a speaker at international creative conferences.
I specialize in helping career changers create a customized roadmap to break into the design industry; build a strong and unique portfolio; and pursue more financial/work freedom (especially remotely) as a designer!
As a mentor, I have a very action-oriented, organized and straight-to-the-point coaching style that gets mentees to work on their goals quickly after we map out milestones. I have a dry sense of humor and very honest in how I provide feedback, but mentees can also expect empathy and witty banters from me throughout our interaction.

Stella has been an incredible mentor, and I'm deeply grateful for her guidance. She played a crucial role in helping me refine my brand and website, steering me from a path that wasn't yielding results to one that is far more effective. Stella's transparency, professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for my design journey were evident in every interaction. Her keen eye for design and branding truly sets her apart—she understands what it takes to create a compelling personal brand. I’m fortunate to have worked with her and am excited about continuing our collaboration in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get into UI/UX.

Stella helped me figure out how I wanted to position myself by creating a persona and insight in developing my personal story. We meet via calls where we discussed how I could position myself, define a visual element, and find a niche to focus on. In doing so, this helped me with my portfolio design and structure.

I needed to get some peer-pressure to start building my portfolio and I'm happy to say Stella brought me right up the finish line. My goal was to create a portfolio to start applying for branding identity agencies during summer 2024. I brought my problem to Stella and we started going through old pieces I made to try to fix that problem. Stella figured that I had a bunch of old design projects that needed some rework and she set down a plan of action to get me to have a finished portfolio product. I wanted to do everything within a month and she was up for the challenge. Throughout the mentorship, we got 4 calls and on each one of them she gave me lots of feedback along the way to improve the pieces for my portfolio and some other design tools to help me reach my goal. By the end of it I got 3 case studies and a portfolio website that got their base down. As soon as I refine them, I can start applying to agencies! Doing all of this on my own would have taken MONTHS, but Stella was able to keep me from straying into perfectionism and got me to have something within my goal interval. Thanks Stella! 🙌
