Private One-on-One Coaching

There are certain things about design interviews that candidates are simply never told.

After years of interviewing at top tech companies — and continuing to interview regularly to stay ahead of the curve — I've learned what actually influences hiring decisions beyond your portfolio and case studies. I also speak directly with recruiters and hiring teams, giving me an up-to-date view of how interviews are evolving and why candidates move forward (or don't).

In this session, I'll share the interview secrets, behind-the-scenes hiring insights, and patterns that most designers never hear about. We'll break down why you may be getting passed up despite having strong work, what interviewers are really discussing after you leave the room, and how to position yourself as the candidate they remember. This isn't recycled interview advice: it's the kind of information that you only learn after years of going through the process yourself. Let's talk through things together and prepare you for your next interview.

Sometimes you're just too close to your own work to see what's helping or hurting you. That's where I come in.

I'll conduct a thorough audit of your portfolio and resume, giving you honest, actionable feedback based on years of interviewing and conversations with recruiters about what they're actually looking for.

We'll identify what's working, what's holding you back, and where you're unintentionally underselling yourself. You'll leave with a clear plan to strengthen your portfolio, elevate your resume, and position yourself as a more competitive candidate.

Feeling stuck in your career can be overwhelming — especially when you're unsure what the right next move is.

Whether you're trying to break into UX, pivot into a new role, transition into leadership, or simply figure out what's next, we'll roadmap a clear path forward together.

We'll take a deep dive into your experience, your goals, and where you ultimately want your career to go. From there, I'll help you build a personalized roadmap with realistic, actionable steps you can start working toward immediately. No more guessing or spinning your wheels—just a clear strategy and the confidence to move forward.
