UX Career Coach | Led Design in Consumer Tech & B2B Entertainment for 15+ Y

With over 15 years of UX design experience at global brands like Dell and Lenovo, I specialize in helping aspiring and mid-career designers get unstuck, level up, and tell their stories with confidence. I'm currently a Lead UX Designer in enterprise B2B tools at Disney and a professor at Austin Community College and CCS’s MFA program. I’ve coached students, junior designers, career switchers, and even seasoned professionals looking to break into product design leadership. Whether it’s portfolio storytelling, interview prep, or making a confusing UX problem sound smart—I'll help you approach it with clarity and personality. I also bring humor and honesty to the table—because design is serious business, but coaching doesn’t have to be boring.
