About

Getting into UX can feel overwhelming, especially when most resources focus only on making screens. I'll help you understand the process behind great products, from discovery and user research to identifying pain points and balancing user needs with business goals. We can also work on design systems, accessibility, and design fundamentals so you build products with confidence, not just interfaces.

How I can help

I help aspiring and early-career UX/Product Designers build portfolios that stand out, craft stronger case studies, prepare for interviews, and grow into confident product thinkers. Over the past 3 years, I've worked across B2B SaaS, e-commerce, branding, and end-to-end product designing from UX research and strategy to design systems, developer handoff, and launch. I also mentor designers on practical AI workflows that speed up research, documentation, ideation, and portfolio creation while keeping human judgment and critical thinking at the center. Every session is tailored, honest, and focused on actionable feedback that mentees can immediately apply to their work.

Frequently asked

I'm new to UX. Can I still book a session?

Absolutely. Whether you're just starting out, switching careers, or trying to understand how product design works in the industry, I'm happy to help.

Do I need a portfolio before booking?

No. We can discuss the UX process, discovery, product thinking, or how to approach your first portfolio. A portfolio is only needed if you've booked a portfolio review.

What should I prepare before our session?

Come with your questions. If we're reviewing a portfolio, case study, or product, please share the relevant links before the session so I can review them in advance.

Will you help me learn Figma?

Figma may come up during our discussion, but my focus is on product thinking, UX processes, design systems, accessibility, and solving real product problems rather than teaching software features.

I already know Figma. Will these sessions still be useful?

Yes. My focus is on product thinking, discovery, UX processes, accessibility, design systems, and understanding how real product teams work beyond the UI.

Do you review portfolios and case studies?

Yes. I offer dedicated portfolio review sessions where we'll focus on your storytelling, process, and how you communicate your design decisions.
