US UX Interview Storytelling & Portfolio Positioning
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
