Where are you
NO-Portfolio designer
You wrapped up the UX bootcamp and… stalled. Your personal site still says Coming Soon.
You’re unsure how to stand out with your bootcamp projects.
Every “perfect” portfolio example online feels miles ahead of yours.
The longer it drags on, the harder it is to open that blank page.
NO-JOB designer
You apply to every posting, tweak your portfolio nonstop—and still hear only polite rejections.
Recruiters view, scroll, bounce.
You’ve lost count of the “Thank you for your interest” emails.
The creeping thought: “Was switching to UX a mistake?”
And you are a career switcher
Meanwhile you’re stuck in a job you’ve outgrown (or in that awkward “between gigs” limbo). You want to finally break into UX and make something meaningful with your career.

Outreach scripts, networking angles, and hidden-market hacks that move you ahead of the applicant pile.

Advanced job search strategies course
Most people rely on just one job-searching strategy — the classic spray & pray: send the same application to hundreds of jobs and hope for the best.
But that’s not how people actually get hired.
There are smarter, more focused tactics that get you noticed — and I’ll teach you the exact ones I’ve used (and coached others on) throughout my 16-year UX career.

How it works:
Available after completing the 5-week core program.
Request your 1:1 anytime within 3 months after you are eligible. So you can comfortably move at your own pace.
Leave a quick, public video testimonial during the call (no special preparation—the recording will be done just during the call. I encourage honesty, by request I can turn your testimonial into a written one).
Limited to one session per participant.
To make sure every participant has the chance to request a 1:1 call, I strictly limit the number of spots in each cohort.
This isn’t a mass course — it’s designed to give you real support, not just content.

Do I need to finish the program to get the 1:1 session?
