Coaching for Advanced Product Designers
I help senior designers and people managers turn ambiguity into momentum and career ambition into impact.
-
Working Through Ambiguity
Make progress when problems are underdefined, priorities are shifting, or direction is unclear—without waiting for permission or perfect inputs.
-
Turning Initiative into Impact
Ensure your work lands beyond design by aligning with product, engineering, and leadership expectations, not just design standards.
-
Growing Without Compromise
Advance your career while protecting culture, teamwork, and execution—without resorting to politics, shortcuts, or burnout.
-
Leading at Scale
Exercise influence, ownership, and accountability across teams and functions—regardless of title or formal authority.
How I Coach
I bring a combination of deep design experience, empathetic leadership, and practical strategy. My approach is direct, grounded, and collaborative.
That means:
No generic frameworks or one-size-fits-all advice
Honest conversations about tradeoffs, constraints, and organizational dynamics
A focus on real situations you’re dealing with right now
Clear thinking, concrete actions, and follow-through
I care deeply about teamwork, effective prioritization, and taking initiative—and I’ll hold you to those standards in a way that’s supportive, not performative.
What This is Not
To be explicit, this coaching is not:
Design critique or portfolio review
Therapy or confidence-building
Career advice detached from real organizational constraints
It is practical, honest support for designers who want to operate—and advance—at a high level.
