Frances’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
With 15+ years of experience in UX—spanning B2B, enterprise platforms, and global brands—I’ve led teams, shipped complex tools, and coached designers at all levels. I’ve worked across Fortune 500 companies, built systems from the ground up, and know what it’s like to be the only designer in the room and the one leading the conversation. I’m also an adjunct professor who teaches UX theory and practice, helping students and professionals make real-world leaps in their careers. My coaching style is direct, strategic, and a little bit funny. I don’t do vague advice—I help you identify what’s holding you back, what hiring managers are actually looking for, and how to tell your story with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re early in your UX journey or navigating the jump to lead or principal roles, I’ve been there—and I can help you get where you want to go.
