About this session
A strong portfolio can open doors, but only if it clearly shows what you can do and why it matters. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you improve how your work is presented, whether you are applying for jobs, pitching clients, or building credibility in your field. If your portfolio feels scattered, outdated, or not quite convincing enough, this session gives you practical feedback on how to strengthen it.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to review your portfolio through the eyes of a hiring manager, client, or industry peer. Together, you can assess the quality of your project selection, case studies, storytelling, structure, and presentation, and identify what is missing or not landing. The goal is to leave with clearer direction on how to make your portfolio more focused, more compelling, and more effective at creating opportunities.
Your mentor
I've spent over twenty years working across technology, startups, and human development. I've led design at Google Switzerland, shaped product strategy at Consensys MENA, and co-founded Mamo, a DFSA-licensed fintech. I've also been an Acumen Global Fellow, working on financial inclusion through microfinance in rural Asia.
Today I work with founders and companies on AI product strategy, experience design, and design leadership. I also advise on design team culture and organisation design, and invest in ventures aligned with mental health, sustainability, and forward-facing technology.
Alongside the consulting work, I coach. I'm a Certified Co-Active Coach and PCI Certified Integration Practitioner, trained in harm reduction, trauma-aware practice, and ethics. My approach is shaped by over a decade of personal practice including meditation, somatic work, plant medicine, Vipassana retreats, and the Hoffman Process.
I'm based in Cape Town. I work with clients worldwide.
