For the past 7+ years I've been leading design on YouTube's Visioning Team. I work with product teams across YouTube to identify human-centered product opportunities and help them articulate a clear product vision.
I'm passionate about helping the next wave of designers think more strategically and have impact within their organization. I focus on helping mentees land jobs, get more traction in their current roles, and grow their design toolkits.
As your mentor, I can help you:
- Prepare you for interviews (eg. prep-questions, white boarding exercises) and review your portfolio / resume to help showcase your work
- Provide guidance as you go through your job search and onboard into a new role
- Develop a long-term career roadmap
- Provide guidance and techniques on how to create lasting impact at large tech companies
- Improve your sketching and visual communication toolset
When not working or mentoring, you can find me restoring my historic 1913 home in San Francisco or biking in the hills of Marin.
Don't hesitate to reach out, I'm always available and happy to chat!

Yaakov is an excellent mentor who is able to get to the core of what my blockers are during work reviews, providing the guidance and structure I need to re-work presentations in only a short meeting no matter how complex the case study. I've had two one-off sessions with him now and plan to continue working with him in the future.
