About this Session
You don't need more advice.
You need someone to tell you what's actually going on.
This is a 45-minute of career clarity. You bring the situation - a career crossroads, a role you're stuck in, a promotion you're not getting, a job offer you're not sure about , and I'll tell you what I see. No sugarcoating.
In 25 years and 2,400+ coaching conversations, I've seen almost every version of "stuck." The patterns are remarkably consistent. The fixes are usually not what people expect.
Here's what you'll walk away with:
→ A clear read on what's actually happening and holding you back (usually it's what you think is holding you back)
→ 2-3 specific, concrete moves to make in the next 30 days
→ A follow-up message from me within 24 hours with key takeaways from our session
This isn't a getting-to-know-you chat. We go deep, FAST.
Book this if you have a specific situation and want an expert set of eyes on it.
Your mentor
VP of UX at JPMorgan Chase.
25 years in UX across startups, agencies and Fortune 500.
2,400+ designers coached.
Here's what I do: analyze your situation and tell you exactly what's keeping you stuck -> and what to do about it.
I work with experienced UXers and design leaders who are great at their craft but hitting a wall on the business side. The promotion that's not coming. The influence you can't seem to build. The stakeholders who smile and nod but never actually change anything. The nagging feeling that you're doing excellent work that nobody with power seems to notice.
I know these problems because I've lived them. I lead a design org at one of the largest financial institutions in the world. I navigate reorgs, executive politics, and the gap between "great UX work" and "actual business influence" every single day.
This isn't theory for me, it's my day-to-day work.
My clients have gone on to leadership roles at Amazon, Meta, Spotify, Google, and others.
Not because I handed them a framework, because I told them what no one else would and helped them act on it.
I only coach on Wednesdays. Spots are limited.
If you want someone who'll be honest with you, book a session.
