Your mentor
The UX design job market is tough, but I’m here to help:
📈 92% of mentees secure interviews within 6 weeks of updating their portfolio with me
🏢 87% land roles at design-mature companies or high-growth startups
⏱ Median time from portfolio overhaul to offer: 12 weeks
(*Stats updated January 2026. Based on 3 years of tracked outcomes. Happy to share raw stats)
Two things set me apart as a mentor:
1. Funnel-based mentoring — Every 6 months, I run structured studies with recruiters and hiring managers to reverse-engineer how the hiring funnel actually works.
We optimize for where candidates get filtered out, not just “make the portfolio prettier.”
2. Deep offline support — Between calls, I give daily written feedback, structured guides, and clear next steps. You’ll never be left guessing what to do next.
I currently lead UX for Apple’s core communication apps — Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Phone and Contacts. I’ve designed mass-scale products at Google and Apple, and I’ve served on hiring committees at Apple, Google, and Amazon. I know what actually moves a candidate from maybe to hire.
Let’s connect! I’ll get back to you within 24 hours to set up a free introductory call 📞.
Our first call involves a career worksheet 📋, and from there, I’ll provide a structured plan.
