Break Into Product from Architecture & Creative Backgrounds
Breaking into Product Management from a non-traditional background? I’ve been there. Coming from architecture and design, I successfully transitioned into tech by leveraging my unique skill set, launching side projects, and crafting a compelling personal narrative. I even gave a TEDx talk on unconventional pathfinding, sharing strategies for bold career moves. Now, I help others do the same—not just landing their first PM role, but excelling in it once they’re there. As a PM intern and now full-fledged Product Manager, I specialize in guiding entry-level and early-career professionals through key career milestones—navigating salary negotiations, building strong 30-60-90 day plans, upleveling with your manager, and finding the right mentors. I also founded the first-ever Associate Product Manager accelerator program at Autodesk, supporting learning and development for APMs. Whether you need to refine your resume, sharpen your storytelling, or build the right experiences to stand out, I’ll help you navigate the path to tech with confidence. Your background is an asset—let’s make it work for you.
