Mentorship
Your work is strong.
Make it visible.
You don't need a template. You need someone who's sat across the table from hiring managers, built design teams, and knows what makes a portfolio land - or fall flat. This is hands-on, practical work. No fluff.
Most career coaching fixes your resume. This isn't that.
The outer work - portfolio, resume, LinkedIn, interview prep - only holds when it's grounded in something real. That's what separates a session with me from a template review or a career centre checklist.
I've spent 20+ years on the other side of this. Hiring, reviewing work, watching talented people get passed over not because their work wasn't good enough, but because the story around it wasn't. I know what the gap looks like from both sides.
What's included
Four ways I can help.
Portfolio Review
Not a checklist. A real read of your work - what's landing, what isn't, and what the gap is between how you see your work and how a hiring manager reads it. Written feedback with specific, actionable notes.
- For designers prepping for a job search, pivoting into a new specialization, or building toward a senior or lead role.
- Async written review + 30-min follow-up call
- $249
Resume & LinkedIn Deep-Dive
Most designer resumes tell the wrong story - or no story at all. This is a full review of both with specific rewrites and recommendations, grounded in what you're actually trying to do next.
- For anyone who's actively searching or about to start.
- Async written review + 30-min follow-up call
- $249
Interview Prep
Not memorized answers. Interviews go wrong when you're performing a version of yourself you don't fully believe. We prep by getting clear on who you actually are, what you've built, and how to talk about it in a way that sounds like you - not a LinkedIn post.
- For anyone with an interview coming up who wants to walk in with real confidence, not rehearsed lines.
- 60-min 1:1 session
- $269
The Full Stack
Portfolio review + Resume & LinkedIn + Interview Prep together. For people who are serious about the next move and want the whole picture addressed at once.
- For people in active job search mode who want everything aligned before they go in.
- Combined async reviews + two 1:1 sessions
- $649

This is what connects it all
Mentorship gives you the tools. Coaching is where we do the deeper work underneath them - values, identity, the inner stuff that makes the outer stuff actually hold.
If a review surfaces something deeper - if the problem turns out to be clarity or confidence rather than presentation - that's what 1:1 coaching is for. See what that looks like →
