About

In the past 4 years I’ve helped a lot of designers create their first event portfolio+design CV and get unstuck with design projects. I prefer sharing practical tips and examples over pure theory and I enjoy working with committed mentees who want to bring their craft to the next level.

How I can help

➡️ Working in a complex environment like B2B and Enterprise? I can help you navigate the specific challenges that no bootcamp prepares you for: designing for power users, dense data, and stakeholders who don't speak design. ➡️ Trying to break into UX? I can review your portfolio, CV, your professional accounts or help you build strong case studies from scratch
