About this Session

As a UX hiring manager, I’m very familiar with the UX hiring process. I can help you prioritize what you need to prepare, plus give you some structure and accountability.

This is a package to book 3 x 1-hour sessions.
We can go through any of the following:
1. portfolio walkthroughs
2. behavioral interviews
3. technical interviews (eg. live design challenge, whiteboard)
4. app critique walkthrough
5. salary negotiation

Your mentor

📈 97% of mentees land 3+ interviews within 6 weeks of portfolio refinement.
🏢 92% secure full-time roles at design-mature companies or high-growth startups (Series B–D).
⏱ Median time from portfolio overhaul to offer: 11 weeks.
(Stats based on 164+ mentees. Updated March 2026. Anonymized data available).

Proof is in the results. You can also read 164+ reviews below ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

My mentorship is structured differently than most:

🎯 Funnel-based mentoring
Every 6 months, I run structured studies with recruiters and hiring managers to reverse-engineer the UX hiring funnel. Combined with my experience on hiring committees at major tech companies including Apple, this gives a clear view into how candidates are actually evaluated.

🧠 Daily offline support
You get ongoing written feedback on your artifacts, structured guides, and clear next steps between calls.
You always know exactly what to improve and why.

What actually changes 🚀
• You stop guessing what’s not working and follow a clear plan
• Your case studies become focused, strategic, and easy to evaluate
• You learn how to position your experience against real job requirements
• You go into interviews with confidence 💡
Most mentees describe the same shift: things finally click, and progress accelerates fast ⚡

I currently lead UX for Apple’s core communication apps including Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Phone, and Contacts.
