Community

I mentor designers on Hop, show up for New York's design community and events further afield, and have spoken on DesignOps, B2B product and UX research.

Let's chat

Mentoring

Founding mentor on Hop, the mentoring platform from Design Buddies.

Book on Hop

A free 30-minute intro chat. Hop asks you to join before you book.

Helping designers secure their first role, navigating team culture and politics, and becoming Senior

That means standing up a design system and review rituals from zero, earning influence in a room of engineers and PMs where you have no formal authority, and holding the quality line without torching relationships. Bring a real situation and we'll find the structural move, not just the tactical fix.
