About the Mentor:
30 years of hiring and leading design teams.
Here to bridge the gap to your next senior role.
I’ve spent three decades in the design trenches—leading teams, launching products, and reviewing thousands of portfolios as a hiring manager. I’ve watched tools evolve from early web layout software to modern AI platforms, but one constant remains: great design careers are built on clarity, narrative, and human connection.
I created the Career Strategy Clinic because automated portfolio scanners and generic online advice leave talented designers feeling stuck. I offer the 1-on-1, empathetic guidance I wish I had coming up—helping you cut through the noise, articulate your true value, and navigate your next big career leap with confidence
