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

The UX design job market is tough, but I’m here to help:
📈 94% of mentees secure at least 3+ interviews within 6 weeks of refining their portfolio with me
🏢 87% land roles at design-mature companies or high-growth startups (Series B–D)
⏱ Median time from portfolio overhaul to offer: 10 weeks

(Stats updated January 2026. Based on 160+ mentees over 3 years of tracked outcomes. Happy to share anonymized data.)

Two things set me apart as a mentor:

1. Funnel-based mentoring — Every 6 months, I run structured studies with recruiters and hiring managers to reverse-engineer how the UX hiring funnel actually works.
We optimize for where candidates get filtered out.

2. Deep offline support — Between calls, I give daily written feedback, structured guides, and clear next steps. You’ll never be left guessing what to do next.

I currently lead UX for Apple’s core communication apps — Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Phone and Contacts. I’ve designed mass-scale products at Google and Apple, and I’ve served on hiring committees at Apple, Google, and Amazon. I know what actually moves a candidate from maybe to hire.

Let’s connect! I’ll get back to you within 24 hours to set up a free introductory call 📞.
Our first call involves a career worksheet 📋, and from there, I’ll provide a structured plan.
