Portfolio Power-Up with

Your portfolio is your #1 career asset, but most designers get it wrong. After reviewing hundreds of portfolios and hiring dozens of designers, I know exactly what hiring managers look for (and what makes them skip to the next candidate).

This 2-week sprint includes:
- Session 1 (60 min): Complete portfolio audit + rebuild strategy
- Between sessions: You implement changes with my feedback via chat
- Session 2 (60 min): Final review, storytelling refinement, presentation practice

I've helped designers land roles at IDEO, Google, and top startups by making their portfolios impossible to ignore.

You've been applying for months. Getting ghosted. You've updated your portfolio twice and you're watching less-experienced designers land the roles you deserve.

I've helped 30+ mid-senior designers break through this exact wall.

One mentee stuck in an 18-month job search got hired at $190K in 30 days. Another landed IDEO in a month. I recently negotiated a $50K raise for a mentee who didn't know they were leaving money on the table.

These results come from a system. I can teach it to you.

📊 Results (Updated Jan 2025 | 30+ Mentees)
✅ 80% land new roles with significant salary increases
✅ 92% get hiring manager responses within 2 weeks of outreach
✅ Average outcome: $40K–$60K raise within 90 days
✅ Placed at: IDEO, Google, Airbnb, Kith, funded startups at $150K–$190K

Why it works:
Most coaches fix your resume. I teach you to reach hiring managers directly before a job is ever posted with outreach that gets responses. No more throwing applications into the void.

I bring 12+ years shipping products at Nava PBC, Full Harvest, and Outdoorsy, where my work contributed to $200M raised. I've sat across from the hiring managers you're trying to reach. I know exactly what gets candidates disqualified before the first interview.

The 5D Framework
I apply the design process to your career because your job search is a product problem.
1. Discover — Audit your positioning and what's blocking you
2. Define — Clarify your story and target companies
3. Design — Build your outreach system and portfolio narrative
4. Develop — Execute: outreach to 20–30 hiring managers, interview reps, story refinement
5. Deploy — Navigate offers, negotiate comp, land the role

Who this is for:
- Mid-senior designers (5+ years) applying for months with little response
- Designers with ambition but feeling stuck or capped in trajectory
- People ready to do the work — I can't teach character, but I can unlock your potential

Who this is not for:
- People who want someone to do the work for them
- Anyone exploring UX casually without real commitment

My Guarantee:
Show up and do the work. No measurable progress in 60 days? I keep working with you at no additional cost.
