Hands-on support
Career Mentor for Creatives & Career Switchers | Portfolio, Strategy & Burnout Recovery (No-BS)
I’m a former art director and creative strategist with experience across advertising, client-side roles, and Big Tech (Meta). I mentor creatives, graduates, and career switchers through portfolio building, career transitions, job-market strategy, and burnout recovery. My approach is intuitive, direct, and tailored — no templates, no generic advice, just honest guidance that fits who you are and where you want to go.
I’ve spent my career moving between worlds — agencies, tech, and strategy — and reinventing myself when things no longer fit. I deeply believe careers should evolve the same way. I work with people who don’t fit neatly into boxes, helping clarify direction, sharpen portfolios, prepare for roles, and navigate career transitions with confidence.
I’m especially attuned to how people evolve: recognizing burnout early, reshaping priorities, and finding sustainable paths forward. My mentoring style is practical, honest, and tailored: I’ll challenge weak ideas, push for clarity, and surface strengths you might not yet see — without corporate clichés or influencer platitudes.
If you’re after polished LinkedIn phrases, I’m not your mentor. If you want real conversations, sharp feedback, and guidance built around you, we’ll work well together.
