I've spent over two decades designing products, brands, and pitch decks for founders, and sharpening the work of designers trying to level up. Long enough to learn that making things was never the hard part. Knowing which one deserves your time was.
Come to me with the real thing:
The product that feels off and you can't say why.
The portfolio that gets views but no callbacks.
The pitch deck that keeps losing the room.
The design interview you reach the final round of, then lose.
The AI agent you're trying to make genuinely useful.
I'll give you the honest reaction most people are too polite to, and one clear move you can act on the same day.
No pep talk. No framework you'll never open again. One sharp second pair of eyes from someone who has already made every mistake you're about to.
If you want a cheerleader, there are gentler mentors here. If you want the truth about your work, book a call.
