Salary Negotiation with

Use my 18+ years both as a designer and hiring manager to easily get $5-15k more in your next job offer.

I'll show you the in's and out's of how salary negotiations go, how to ask for more money, and how to negotiate things you didn't even know were chips on the table, like sign-on bonuses, and equity.

We'll start by level setting with what interviews you have in flight, strategize on how to approach negotiation, and you'll be handed scripts that I've personally used to grow my own salary from when I started as a graphic designer at $45k, and now over $250k+.

We have one kick-off session that breaks down strategy. You get a set of scripts to use and leverage, and ongoing support for up to 6 months or until you're able to get a job offer.

I know the price for this session may seem steep, but ask yourself this - if you knew what you were getting would change your earning potential to over $500k in your lifetime, would you still have a hard time thinking it over?

Struggling to Get Noticed, Paid, or Taken Seriously as a Designer? Let’s Fix That.

Hey, I’m James. I help designers stop being ignored, underpaid, and overlooked by teaching them how to build real influence, advocate for their worth, and level up their careers.

Too many designers get stuck in the same frustrating loop:
❌ Sending out portfolios and getting crickets.
❌ Doing great work but still getting stuck and not advancing.
❌ Sharing ideas in meetings, only to be brushed aside.

I’ve been there—and I cracked the code. After a decade in UX, working at companies like Disney, Live Nation, Crunchyroll, and FabFitFun (plus earning a UX Master Certification from Nielsen Norman Group, the g.o.a.t. of usability), I know what actually moves the needle.

Here’s How I Can Help You Win:
💼 Get Noticed – Portfolio, resume, and interview prep that makes hiring managers pay attention.
💰 Get Paid – Learn how to negotiate like a pro for your next job or promotion and stop leaving money on the table.
📢 Get Ahead – Become a strategic partner, not just a pixel pusher. Get people to actually listen to you.
🎨 Sharpen Your Skills – Need help with UX, visual design, or research? I’ve got you.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, let’s change that. I’ll help you build the influence, skills, and confidence to get what you deserve.
