You've done great work. People can't see it from the outside.
You've tried to fix it for over 6 months, every Saturday.
But the project ran for three years. Five releases, 100+ decisions, and each one feels important. Cut too much, and the work looks simple.
Keep too much, and nobody reads past slide two.
And silence, when you send a portfolio link, feels like an answer.
It isn't. I've interviewed 33 design leaders and 230 senior and lead designers about who they hire and why.
What separates designers who get interviews from those who get ghosted isn't always craft. It's whether a hiring manager can follow your reasoning without you in the room.
Most coaches hand you a framework and wish you luck.
I find your story and write it for you. One narrative, used everywhere: resume, websites, presentation, interviews.

"I'd applied to 22 roles. About one in four turned into a callback, and I made it past every recruiter screen into hiring-manager rounds at Amazon, Visa, and DoorDash. I used the five-slide format we built and the storytelling played a huge part."

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from other coaches?
Most coaching hands you a framework and a worksheet, then sends you off to fill in the blanks. That works if you need structure.
It doesn't work if you already have a voice and need someone to sharpen it, not replace it. I don't hand you a template.
I write your case studies with you, based on your actual work and decisions. I'm a thought partner, not a course.
Do I need an existing portfolio?
No. If you can talk about your projects, I can rewrite an existing portfolio or create one from scratch. The only requirement: you can talk about the work, and you have screenshots.
How long does this take?
60 days, but many clients start applying in 3 weeks. You don't need to wait for a full rebuild to apply.
What if my work isn't actually as strong as I think?
I've done this long enough to know the difference between a story problem and a work problem. If the work isn't there, I'll tell you on our call, before you pay me. That's not a sales line. It's a filter that protects both of us.
This is built for senior, staff, and principal designers who've done strong work and need it to read that way. If you're earlier in your career and still building the work itself, I'm not the right fit yet, and I'll say so.
