About this Session
If you're looking for a mentor, and you're just not sure about how this all works – this one is for you. In a casual, informal introductory call, a mentor will introduce themselves, show you around the platform, explain how our mentorships work, and explain how they would set up a mentorship with you.
This session is perfect if you're looking for a long-term mentor, but you're just not sure how this can work – or if you already set eyes on a specific mentor, and want to get to know them beforehand.
Your mentor
The UX design job market is tough, but I’m here to help:
📈 94% of mentees secure at least 3+ interviews within 6 weeks of refining their portfolio with me
🏢 87% land roles at design-mature companies or high-growth startups (Series B–D)
⏱ Median time from portfolio overhaul to offer: 10 weeks
(Stats updated January 2026. Based on 160+ mentees over 3 years of tracked outcomes. Happy to share anonymized data.)
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 UX hiring funnel actually works.
We optimize for where candidates get filtered out.
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.
