We connect elite designers and engineers with startups shaping the future.

We don’t just source talent. We refine it.

Every candidate goes through our proprietary vetting and coaching framework, built from decades of design, education, and startup experience.

Every candidate we represent is vetted, coached, and portfolio-ready before reaching a founder’s inbox.

The result: founders hire with confidence, and candidates step into roles that accelerate their growth.

I run a boutique talent advisory and coaching practice helping startups, scaleups, and design-led orgs find, vet, and retain world-class design talent.

I’ve worked with thousands of designers across every stage of their career, coaching them, assessing their readiness, and helping teams hire with clarity.

What I do:

→ Design hiring strategy for founders, VPs, and recruiters, so you hire right the first time

→ Talent audits and role benchmarking to clarify what you're actually hiring for

→ 1:1 coaching for designers to upskill, land roles, and grow in fast-paced teams

→ Portfolio and real-world skills assessment. No fluff, no vague feedback

→ Interview systems that cut time-to-hire in half (yes, no more 5-round interviews)

→ Team development workshops to turn junior and mid designers into top performers

→ Strategic advisory on scaling design orgs (culture, process, capability)

Bonus:

I’ve also built curriculum and coached for the world’s best tech bootcamps (GA, Designlab, RMIT), giving me unique insight into what good talent looks like and how to grow it fast.
