About
I mentor designers on portfolios, job search, and mock interviews, but just as much, I want this to be a space where you can actually rant when things feel stuck, not just get advice, and I love helping people figure out how AI actually fits into their practice.

Shivani gave me very helpful feedback on my portfolio, especially the information hierarchy and how to make my case studies easier to read. She was also supportive and encouraging when I shared about my concerns and challenges with job search. Would really like to chat with her again!
