About this session

As someone who has aced whiteboard interviews at top tech companies (Google, Meta etc), I can help guide you through this process and make sure you feel confident going into your whiteboard session.

In this session, we can go over your whiteboarding skills and go over proper frameworks to help you feel confident in your next whiteboard session. We can go over practice prompts as well.

Your mentor

👋 Hi there, I’m Rina, a Product Designer with 7+ years of experience at companies like Snap, Meta, and Amazon working at the intersection of digital design and consumer hardware. Before transitioning to a career in tech, I studied and practiced Architecture.

For the past few years, I've mentored 60+ people through career transitions, interviewing skills, and helped mentees receive offers at Google, Meta, Wealthsimple, and more.

Whether you are a student, career switcher, or have a few years under your built, we can work together to come up with a plan specific to your goals. My mentorship style involves active listening, encouragement, and pragmatic, tactical feedback rooted in the current state of the ever-changing tech industry.

As a career switcher, I know how stressful it feels to "start over". While it feels like you're starting over from scratch, together we'll figure out the ways you can leverage and market your unique skillset and apply it to product design.

As someone who has received offers at top tech companies (Google, Meta, Amazon, Uber, Pinterest, Cashapp, Square, Snap and more), I can help you break into the tech industry and teach you frameworks that work. I have experience as a screener and design interviewer and can give you tips on how to best represent yourself to the hiring team.

As your mentor, I can help you with the following:

→ Transition your career to Product Design
→ Review your Portfolio & CV
→ Guide you through the Product Design Interview process
→ Prepare you for whiteboards/app critiques with practical, non fluffy frameworks
→ Understand salary & market expectations
→ Mock UX Interviews
→ Break into a great tech company
→ Strategize your job search
→ Discuss on-the-job strategies working as a sole designer in a startup or a designer within a larger design org

Ultimately, the time we set aside is for you, we can tailor our meetings to what is helpful for you at any given time.

Can’t wait to meet!

Rina was an exceptional mentor that gave me excellent feedback throughout each session and also helped me feel more confident when I went into my interviews. She also gave me several pointers in how to improve or give myself an edge during the interviews. She listened attentively to every concern I had and answered each question carefully. Rina was very invested in my interview process and checked in to see how they were progressing. Rina was the very first mentor I booked with in my career and I will embarrassingly admit- didn’t know if there would be value. But after booking with her- I found my sessions with her highly valuable that I kept booking with her. I highly recommend for juniors who are just starting out or even mid level (like myself) that needs someone to help them during their layoff season or interview prep. It made a huge difference for me even when money felt tight (as I was laid off) and felt like each dollar was worth it ”

Although I was worried, Rina instantly made me calm and more confident with her bright energy. You can genuinely tell that she's your advocate and excited to be part of your journey. She gave thorough feedback and was just a joy to speak with! I feel more confident and am so happy to have met the right mentor for me.”

I cannot be more grateful for her detailed review of my portfolio and the actionable feedback that has ultimately made me a much stronger product designer and storyteller. She has also been incredibly empathetic about navigating career transitions — helping me find the highlights and translatable skills in my unique journey, which gave me much-needed clarity and confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wanting guidance on breaking into design in tech or looking to level up their design skills and product thinking!”
