This intensive is designed for designers who have strong experience but need help translating their work for the US hiring market. In this focused, strategy-led engagement, we will work together to clarify how your experience, judgment, and impact are being interpreted by US recruiters and hiring managers, then refine how you present your work in interviews and portfolio walkthroughs. Rather than generic interview prep, this session focuses on decision-making, ownership, and impact framing so your experience signals confidence, leadership, and readiness in a US context. This is a high-touch, personalized session tailored specifically to your background, target roles, and market goals. Who this is for - International UX designers targeting US-based roles - Designers with strong experience who struggle to clearly articulate impact in interviews - Candidates who want to signal judgment, ownership, and leadership rather than just execution Who this is not for - Entry-level designers - Candidates looking for resume writing or scripted answers - Anyone expecting a passive or templated experience
Clear understanding of how your experience is currently landing with US hiring managers
Refined interview storytelling for 3 core projects, focused on decisions, tradeoffs, and impact
Guidance on how to verbally walk through your portfolio with confidence and clarity
Targeted feedback on where your narrative under-signals judgment or leadership
A clearer strategy for positioning your AI and systems experience in US interviews
Specific next steps and frameworks for strengthening your interview and portfolio narrative moving forward
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
This package is delivered through live, 1:1 coaching sessions focused on real-time feedback, reflection, and refinement. My approach combines UX leadership experience with interview storytelling strategy. We focus less on rehearsed answers and more on how your thinking, judgment, and decision-making come through when you speak about your work. You will receive direct, honest feedback in session, along with clear guidance on what to adjust and why it matters in the US hiring context. This is a collaborative, high-engagement session and works best when you come prepared to discuss your real projects and goals.
