About

My background is in visual arts, but I switched to product design almost ten years ago and have spent that time in B2B SaaS, design systems, and figuring out how to use AI tools well. I keep mentoring pretty relaxed and open to whatever's on your mind, portfolio review, an AI workflow question, a design decision you're stuck on, or interview prep.

How I can help

Whatever you‘re stuck on, we can figure it out together, your portfolio, interview prep, or what your next career move should be. I can also help you get comfortable with AI tools and bring them into your daily design workflow, untangle B2B products, or set up a design system.

Testimonials

Lejla was really casual and approachable, and provided me with a lot of great insight and actionables for my portfolio and resume. Her way of giving advice was really rooted in how the industry works, and I recommend her for people who wants to answer their uncertainties in regards to their career paths.

Lejla is a very friendly and approachable person. We had the opportunity to discuss and exchange perspectives on the current state of product design, how to apply critical thinking to the design process, and the current landscape of AI in design.

My first mentorship session with Leila felt like the beginning of something really meaningful. She is an incredible listener, and what I appreciated most was how honest, direct, and intentional her feedback was. She helped me realize that I’ve been watering myself down more than I even knew, and gave me clear, practical direction on where I can improve. I’m genuinely grateful to have her as my first mentor, and I’m excited for everything I’ll learn throughout this journey. She truly embodies what I believe a great mentor should be.

Sessions

Intro callFree
30 min
A casual first conversation to get to know each other, talk through what you're working on or stuck on, and figure out if I'm the right person to help. No agenda, just an honest chat.
Portfolio ReviewFree
30 min
I'll go through your portfolio with you and give direct feedback on storytelling, case study structure, and how well it shows your thinking, not just your output. Good for job hunting or just tightening things up.
AI WorkflowsFree
30 min
Let's poke around the whole AI toolbox together and figure out what actually fits into your workflow versus what's just shiny and overwhelming. We'll connect the dots between tools so your process feels more like an actual system.
Design Rubber DuckFree
30 min
A no-agenda space to just talk it out. Great if you're an IC working solo and don't have another designer down the hall to bounce ideas off. Bring a decision you're wrestling with, a half-formed idea, or just general design rambling, I'm happy to listen and help you think out loud.
