With over nine years of experience in UX/UI design and a passion for teaching, I specialize in guiding aspiring designers toward mastering industry-leading tools and methodologies. As a former Instructor and Senior Tutor at UC Berkeley and the University of Toronto, I have taught Figma from basics to advanced levels, covering components, nested instances, variables, conditional logic, and zero-frame prototyping. My mentorship extends beyond technical skills—I emphasize strategic thinking, user-centric design principles, and effective problem-solving. Having conducted over 1,800 hours of 1:1 mentorship sessions, I understand the unique challenges students face and tailor my guidance to help them confidently transition into the design industry. I offer personalized mentorship designed to equip you with real-world design skills, from portfolio development and UX case studies to interview preparation and hands-on design critiques. My approach is practical, ensuring that you not only learn design tools but also develop a strong design rationale and storytelling ability—critical skills for landing top UX roles. Whether you’re an aspiring designer, a career switcher, or someone looking to refine your design expertise, I provide structured guidance to help you build confidence, sharpen your skills, and advance in your UX career. 🚀.
