A love and passion for storytelling and communication is the common thread that ties together my career that's spanned radio hosting, assistant directing in Bollywood, leading a global non-profit, heading up product innovation research for the Netflix Studio, and teaching UX design and product development at UCLA. I've pulled from the classic storytelling mechanics I learned back in film school and have applied them in completely different environments to tell powerful stories for business, social, and human impact. I coach students from all walks of life- from students trying to capture their purpose in higher education to career pivoters wayfinding their way through a new life narrative. I help with identifying new career paths, end-to-end application strategy, resumes, interview prep, negotiation strategy, etc. Your story is the living legacy of your work in the universe. It's the thing people remember. I help make it count.

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.
