About this session
Sometimes the fastest way to grow is to get thoughtful feedback on the work you are already doing. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you review a real piece of work with someone experienced in your field, whether that is a project, presentation, product decision, design, strategy, document, or deliverable. It is a chance to get a more expert perspective on what is working, what is not, and how to improve it.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to break down your work, understand where it is strong, and identify the biggest opportunities to level it up. Together, you can discuss execution, clarity, quality, decision-making, and how the work might be perceived by teammates, managers, clients, or stakeholders. The goal is to leave with sharper feedback, better instincts, and practical next steps you can apply right away.
Your mentor
I'm a Senior UX Designer turned MBA candidate at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business (Class of 2028). Over my career I've designed products at Amazon, Sonos, Daily Harvest (where I joined pre-unicorn and grew with the company through its scale-up phase), and TripAdvisor — giving me a range few designers have, from big-tech rigor to early-stage startup speed. My work has been recognized with an iF Design Award, often called the "Oscar" of product design.
My path here wasn't conventional: I studied Industrial Design for my bachelor's and Engineering Management for my master's, then self-taught my way into UX — so I know firsthand what it takes to pivot into design without a traditional background. I'm now channeling everything I've learned into building a company in women's health tech.
I mentor people navigating career transitions: breaking into UX or product design, moving from IC to leadership, or making the leap from industry into an MBA. As a first-generation immigrant who built my career from scratch, I bring honest, practical guidance — and I'm known as an excellent storyteller, which shows up in how I help mentees reframe their own experience into a compelling narrative.
I've mentored designers on ADPList(https://adplist.org/mentors/linlin-liu) — feel free to check my reviews there. Let's talk about your career questions, portfolio, interview prep, or whatever transition you're navigating.
