Why do I mentor / coach

I want to become a mentor because I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over my 15-year career in product design and leadership. Throughout my journey, I’ve had the privilege of learning from others, and I believe in paying it forward by helping emerging designers and leaders navigate their own paths. Mentorship allows me to contribute to someone’s growth, provide guidance through challenges, and celebrate their successes. I find great fulfillment in empowering others to unlock their full potential, and I’m eager to foster a collaborative environment where I can support mentees in achieving their career aspirations in the world of design.

Achievement

One of my greatest achievements so far has been leading the product design team at Stord, where I served as the Head of Product Design from January 2022 to January 2024. During this time, I led a team of seven senior product designers to enhance user experiences across all of our products. Through a comprehensive UI overhaul and the implementation of user-centered design practices, we were able to significantly boost key business metrics. Specifically, we contributed to a 400% increase in Annual Contract Value (ACV) and raised the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for our Order Management System from $2.5 million to $8 million. This achievement not only demonstrated the tangible impact that thoughtful design can have on a company’s growth but also reinforced my passion for aligning design initiatives with business objectives to drive substantial results.
