About

Hi! I am a technology (EdTech) founder with a background as 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.

If you are looking for entrepreneurship advice, I can provide advice in: business plans, no-code development, bootstrap startup, co-founder selection, product market fit, go-to-maket strategies etc.

For design mentees, 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.

I came to Stella with an outdated, lackluster portfolio and was struggling to gain any traction in my job search. Over the course of a few months, she helped me build a completely new portfolio from the ground up by providing fresh project prompts and working closely with me to design and develop each one. She boosted my confidence by highlighting my strengths and constructively identifying areas for improvement, always offering clear, actionable suggestions on how to grow. Stella never wasted time sugarcoating anything. Her feedback was always candid but kind, and she brought a direct, no-nonsense approach that kept me focused and motivated. She also helped me create a structured, organized plan for my job search, which has led to real momentum—I’m now beginning to receive interview opportunities for design roles. I highly recommend Stella to any designers who feel stuck or unsure about their next steps, especially those who need guidance in building a strong, strategic portfolio.

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.
