Design Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in UX design and research, I have honed my skills at top companies like The Home Depot and ADP, where I led transformative projects that enhanced user experiences and drove significant business results. As a Principal Designer at Flourish Ventures, I specialize in integrating AI-driven insights with human-centered design to create innovative solutions. My coaching journey has allowed me to mentor 18 individuals, guiding them to excel in their design careers by leveraging my expertise in UX strategy, service design, and user research. Whether you're looking to refine your design skills or navigate complex UX challenges, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and start crafting your path to success!
