Your mentor
The UX job market is tough, but I’m here to help.
📈 93% of my mentees get interviews within a month of updating their portfolios
📊 87% land roles at design-mature, name-brand companies, of which 92% with role & salary upgrades
(*Stats updated June 2025, based on data from the past 2 years. Happy to share the stats.)
Two things set me apart as a mentor:
1. Funnel-based mentoring — Every 6 months, I run studies with recruiters and hiring managers to understand how the hiring funnel really works at different companies. I know where it’s strong, where it breaks down, and how candidates can take advantage of gaps. My coaching is structured around that funnel, so you’re not just polishing a portfolio — you’re moving strategically through every stage of the hiring process.
2. Deep offline support — Between calls, I give daily written feedback, structured notes, and clear next steps. You’ll never be left guessing what to do next.
I lead UX for Apple’s communication apps — Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Phone and Contacts. I have 15+ years of experience designing mass-scale products at Google (like Gmail, Meet, Messages) and now Apple, along with a strong startup background. I also have a background in higher-education teaching.
I'm on the hiring committee for Apple. I've also been on the hiring committee for Google and Amazon. I know what stands out. I love helping others navigate similar opportunities 🚀.
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 detailed notes and a structured plan.
