sessions
How it works
Simple, focused, built around you
1-on-1
Private, one-on-one sessions — just you and me, fully focused on your goals.
One hour
Each session runs for one focused hour, so we can go deep without rushing.
Over Google Meet
We meet on Google Meet — wherever you are in the world, all you need is a link.
Tailored to you
No fixed script. Sessions are shaped around what you need — and can continue for as long as they're helpful.
What we can work on
The real things that get people stuck
Portfolio paralysis
You've done the work but can't get it onto the page.
Case-study narrative
Turning messy projects into a story that lands.
Feedback whiplash
Everyone says something different — what do you trust?
Imposter syndrome
Knowing your worth and arguing for your decisions.
Stakeholder pushback
Defending the work without burning the room down.
Breaking into UX
A realistic, evidence-backed path — not a magic course.
Hours are a vanity metric. Outcomes are the hiring metric.From my reflections on 400+ hours of mentoring
How I mentor
Honest, specific, built to last
Specific, never vague
Concrete feedback you can act on — not "looks good." We dig into the actual decisions, artifacts and trade-offs.
Empathy with a backbone
I'll listen carefully — and tell you the uncomfortable truths, kindly. That's where the real growth happens.
Frameworks over templates
Reusable ways of thinking you keep forever — not a checklist to copy once and forget.
Evidence, not hacks
I'll never ask you to buy a magic course. I might ask you to run five usability tests. Real work wins.
No false promises
No one can guarantee a job — it's skill, story, timing and a little luck. Anyone who promises otherwise is selling.
We both learn
Mentoring goes both ways. Your constraints and context sharpen my thinking as much as mine help yours.
