About this Session

If you're serious about breaking free from the UX/product design "career autopilot", you’re in the right place.

Let me cut through the BS: most UXers are stuck in the same rut because they’re following the script somebody else handed them.

"Work on your portfolio", "Learn the latest tool," "Get another certification..." they were told..

❌ But here’s the truth nobody tells you: career growth was never about just adding MORE skills or certifications!

✅ The true UX career success is about knowing how to use your NATURAL STRENGTHS to flip the script in your favor, become more STRATEGIC in your moves and build TRUST and INFLUENCE with decision makers.

For over 25 years, I've been where you are - and beyond. I’ve moved from "maker" to "manager"... and back again... and forth again! Because it made sense to me and my goals at the time of each change. I am proof that your career path doesn’t need to be linear to be successful! It needs to be aligned with YOUR strengths, adaptable to YOUR goals, and meaningful to YOU.

I’ve also coached over 2,000 UXers - resulting in promotions, raises and roles at Amazon, Meta, Spotify, and other big name companies.

If that's what YOU want, I'll help you get there.

But not everybody wants (or needs) the same things in life. I'll help you better understand what drives YOU, what makes YOU feel fulfilled and happy.

YOUR career trajectory is uniquely YOURS.

As your career acceleration coach, I’m not here to rehash the same tired advice that - in theory - can apply to everyone.

You are not everyone! You are YOU!

I’m here to help you learn how to lean into your natural strengths, see the gaps you’re blind to, and build YOUR career strategy for doing what actually will get results - for YOU.

We’ll dive into YOUR goals, YOUR strengths, and the roadblocks YOU'RE facing.

We’ll map out a plan that cuts out the fluff and gets you moving.

I’ll be your go-to sounding board every step of the way.

Because this isn’t just coaching, but REWIRING the way you think about yourself and your career.

Ready to stop coasting and start climbing?
Let’s do this. 🚀

I’ve spent the last 25 years in UX.

Not just doing the design part - the messy human stuff that actually moves projects and products forward.

Across industries and company types - from 2-people startups to Fortune 500, like American Express and JPMorgan Chase (my current employer).

I was stressed about my career. Facing a dead end, I booked a one-hour session with Marina. In 30 minutes, she helped me get to the root of my problem and showed me the direction I needed to take. It was a life-changing session. She was calm, funny, caring, and excited. After talking to her, I felt like a massive load had been lifted off my shoulder. She is passionate about UX and helping people. Because she has 30 years of experience in the design/tech industry there is no problem she can't handle. It was money well spent. I look forward to working with her again.

Marina's guidance proved indispensable in refining both my resume and portfolio. Her exceptional expertise and commitment were palpable throughout the process. Rather than offering generic advice, Marina delved into my career aspirations, providing tailored suggestions to elevate both documents. Patient, accessible, and thorough, she addressed all my inquiries with unwavering dedication. I wholeheartedly endorse her mentorship to anyone aiming to bolster their professional image.

I booked a resume revamp session with Marina, and it was extremely insightful. Marina's years of experience and expertise in the field comes through. She took the time to go through my resume and website before the session, and had questions ready for me. She managed the time well, giving me the space to talk about my career goals and gave valuable actionable pointers. Although the session was only booked for my resume, we went over my website as well as she managed to save some time for it. I've been working on the improvements and have receive positive responses already. Thanks Marina!

A turbo-charged UX career boost. Marina is the right person if you want to get great insight into careers in UX, product design, and design thinking. She has deep craft expertise and gave me solid straightforward advice as I am searching for my next career move. She is also very warm, kind, and engaging I could tell she really listened and cared even during our first session. Great mentor.
