How does it work? You come to me with:

a) an existing, outdated asset like resume & portfolio, OR
b) a career inflection point like upcoming UX interviews or transitioning into a new role.

Then, we tackle your problem through an in-depth, 1 hour workshop.

You’ll not only get guidance on what to do and what NOT to do, but also understand the reasons behind my tailored advice on portfolios, resumes and interviews.

All strategies and insights discussed during sessions will be documented in an email sent to you after our session.

Week by week, we’ll collaborate together to complete ALL of your major job application materials, including your UX Resume, UX Portfolio and even cover letters.

Unlike Relay which helps you complete one job asset, Marathon ensures completion of all necessary components of your job search within 2 months’ time.

In addition, our collaboration includes:

Developing 2 to 3 in-depth case studies from existing projects.
Position yourself to gain freelance projects & experience
Private workshops to develop your personal brand as a UX Designer

Over the course of 8 sessions (and lots of homework in between), we’ll prioritize your career goals and jump over each hurdle one by one.

Example: One month can be dedicated to writing your case studies and the next month focused on personal branding & job applications.

Whereas UX Bootcamps teach you the basics of design, Relay is the missing bootcamp to specifically help you land job opportunities and freelance assignments.

[/cs_text][cs_text style=”font-size: 0.85em;”]After purchasing, you’ll be directed to an onboarding document, which includes a special link to schedule your first call.

Marathon is only for serious mentees who want to build a brand and body of work from scratch. If you only seek to finish existing job application materials, Relay may be better suited for you. If you want laser-focused guidance to overcome one career roadblock, check out Sprint instead.

It’s not unusual for Relay and Marathon participants to get the career results during our work together. For example, let’s say that within a few sessions, you get a full-time offer. At this point, you may elect to keep getting coached (I’ll help you prepare for success at your new role) or stop coaching altogether.

Does joining my coaching program guarantee that you get hired?

No, there are no such guarantees because getting a job depends uniquely on a mentee’s external (job market & location) and internal (skill level, experience) factors. The early part of my coaching program is to help you identify these factors.

A critical piece of getting UX coaching is learning the meta-skills of finding a job. This is a skill you’ll use for every new job in the future. Picking up specialized knowledge like how to network, finding a new job and negotiating your salary will have a lasting impact on the rest of your career.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Who shouldn't do coaching?” open=”false”]I only take on mentees who are ready to meet the challenge of a rigorous, hands-on program. This program is not designed for…

Those who expect others to do the work and get a UX job for them. This program requires your energy, focus and hustle.
Students who’ve had zero exposure to UX – meaning you haven’t taken a course, nor read a UX book yet
You have a lot of debt or have trouble paying bills. Take care of yourself first :)

My goal with every mentee is to return a net positive in your investment by focusing on the pillars that help you get hired as a UX professional: finish your portfolio, interviewing better, landing a job, and winning more freelance work.

My job coaching program is not for those looking for a quick fix without work, nor those who don’t see coaching as a direct investment in their career. No hard feelings – I’m not for everyone, nor should it be.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section bg_color=”hsl(243, 10%, 95%)” parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_inset=”0px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_inset=”0px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0 0px 45px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_feature_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h4″ icon=”map-signs” id=”x-section-audit” class=”cs-ta-center” style=”margin-bottom: 3%;”]Take a quick UX Career Self Audit[/x_feature_headline][cs_text]On the fence?

That’s why you should leverage the experience of an expert, so that you avoid pitfalls and save yourself from making costly decisions.

My mentees find that most of the value from our coaching comes from a sense of structure & clarity on what to do. I’ll firmly guide you away from time-wasting activities, and help you double down on your strengths and identify the opportunities worth chasing.

How do I as a coach give you this clarity? Your intuition probably tells you that what actually gets you results is combining knowledge with action. That’s why I’ve built direction and accountability into my UX coaching program:[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_icon_list][cs_icon_list_item title=”Direction” type=”map-o” link_enabled=”false” link_url=”#” link_new_tab=”false” style=”font-size: 1.1em;font-weight: bold;”]Direction[/cs_icon_list_item][/cs_icon_list][cs_text]There’s too much information and differing points of view on the internet.

If you’re willing to bear the cost of figuring things out by yourself (like I did), respect. I advise all potential mentees to do their research, and consider free resources like the UXBeginner blog and Tuesday UX Trainer. I also offer lower-cost courses like UNBOX: The Wireframing Course or The Ultimate UX Portfolio Course.[/cs_text][cs_text]If it’s been months since you’ve made real progress in your UX career, coaching can be the best investment you make this year.
