About this session

What bootcamps teach and what the job actually requires are two different things. I've spent years mentoring bootcamp graduates and filling that gap. If you are considering enrolling in a bootcamp, currently enrolled, or a graduate and have questions, bring them, and leave with information you can use immediately.

Your mentor

I help UX researchers and designers with the things that actually move careers forward: portfolio reviews that tell you what's working and what isn't, interview prep based on what hiring teams actually look for, and straight answers about navigating real organizations.

The kind of insight that only comes from having been in those situations many times over.

You bring whatever you're stuck on — a project, a portfolio, a resume, a job application — or just pick my brain about anything UX. Either way, you'll leave with something you can use immediately.

I'm a Senior UX Researcher with 10+ years at Netflix, Aon, MassMutual, Arvest Bank, and Infosys, a mentor, a published author of Practical UX Design, and writer of all things UX related.

A quick heads up on pricing: I'm relaunching my MentorCruise practice after a break, and for a limited time I'm dropping my prices to make trying me out easy. Same experience, same direct feedback, at a more manageable price.

If you've been on the fence about getting a mentor, this is a good time to try it. If you're ready for a monthly commitment, book a free intro call and let's talk about what you're looking for. If you're not ready for that yet, book one of my individual sessions.

Either way, you'll get senior-level feedback from someone genuinely invested in your success.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 30 min of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Scott's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.

What if my mentor doesn't show up?

You're protected. If a mentor is a no-show, it takes one click to cancel and get your money back, no questions asked.

How do refunds work?

You pay securely by card at checkout. If the session can't go ahead, you can cancel and get your money back instantly from your dashboard.
