Resume Feedback with Stella

I came to Stella with an outdated, lackluster portfolio and was struggling to gain any traction in my job search.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.

Stella has been such a wonderful mentor to me. From the start, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported. I really appreciated how thoughtful and honest her feedback was, always kind, but also direct in a way that helped me grow. She didn’t just give generic advice; she really took the time to understand where I was coming from and what I needed. Our conversations always left me feeling more confident and clear about my next steps. I feel really lucky to have had the chance to learn from her, and I hope to stay in touch. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a mentor.

Stella gives great advice about how to advance your career and sharpen your skills!
