I mentor professionals ready to grow without losing themselves. My sessions are for UX and Product Designers tired of just executing and ready to think strategically, influence product decisions, and be seen as more than a pair of hands. A clear career path is built with intention. Those who anticipate the rise of AI and understand its impact don't just adapt, they lead.
