WHY MENTORING?

I had so much support when I switched careers in the early 2000’s. It’s a joy to give back. Having managed teams for the last 5 years, it’s rewarding to see people grow in their careers and knowledge base. User Experience/UX Research is an amazing career. It involves creativity + rigor, empathy + analysis. It’s also a career track that is historically under-supported in organizations and has fewer options for mentors.

As a mentor, I can support, coach and guide you through your career as a User Experience Professional.

TESTIMONIALS

Finding work: I’ve been a hiring manager and can provide an outsider view into your resume or portfolio and run you through mock interviews.

Starting a consultancy: I’ve run 2 small consultancies and know the ins and outs of working for yourself.

UX research methods: I’ve run hundreds of studies and can help you plan, implement and analyze studies, review your plan or interview guide. (e.g., usability testing, cardsorting, survey, interview, diary study, journey & other)

Accessibility and Inclusion: I’m a huge proponent of inclusive workplaces and inclusive research and have conducted research with people who are blind.

Evangelization: UXR is rarely a given in any organization. We can brainstorm ways to highlight the importance in your consultancy or organization.

Stakeholder management: Our XFN partners are critical, we can discuss, buy-in, engagement, workshops, and working with analytics​.

Leveling up: I can help you position yourself for a promotion and understand the career ladder of a UX or Research professional.

Research prioritization​ & strategy: Got too much on your plate? Not sure how to manage it all? Let’s discuss!

Difficult conversations: I’ve had many of my own and have also taken leadership training in this area. Let’s figure it out together.
