Product Design Coaching
I help product designers
turn ignored applications
into interview invitations —
and interviews into offers.
The problem
You’ve sent out dozens of applications. Silence. Or worse — you get through portfolio review… and then nothing. It’s frustrating. Confusing. And it makes you question your level. But here’s what’s actually happening: Hiring managers aren’t rejecting you because you lack skill. They’re rejecting you because your portfolio and storytelling don’t clearly demonstrate your design thinking. And if that signal isn’t obvious in the first few minutes, you don’t move forward. I know — because I’ve reviewed 1,000+ portfolios and hired many designers myself.
What people are saying
Why you're not getting calls
After 12+ years in product design — across startups and billion-dollar businesses — I see the same 3 issues repeatedly:
No visible impact
You describe tasks instead of outcomes. Without business reasoning or clear ownership, you fail to demonstrate the value and results that senior design roles demand.
Confusing storytelling
Your case studies read like documentation, not strategy. By burying the problem and trade-offs in irrelevant detail, you lose hiring managers who need a sharp, clear signal.
Lack of intention
Designers must do more than execute. If your portfolio doesn’t show you framing problems, driving decisions, and aligning stakeholders, you won’t be invited to interview.
What we do to fix it
This is 1:1, tailored mentorship. Each session, we identify and systematically close the gaps.
What we’ll focus on:
Every session increases clarity, positioning, and conversion strength.
What changes after working together
You will:
- Present case studies with confidence and structure
- Clearly articulate impact and trade-offs
- Understand what hiring managers look for
- Position yourself correctly for senior roles
- Increase interview invitations
- Perform stronger during panel interviews
The goal is simple
You stop being ignored.
You start getting offers.
