LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
Leading and fostering career growth has always been a passion of mine. At Laserhub, I led a high-performing team of 3 Product Designers, focusing on skill development and career advancement. At Thinkproject, I had the opportunity to hire and build the company’s first UX team.
As a UX Mentor at CareerFoundry, I guided over 30 junior designers to successfully enter the workforce. Additionally, as a Design Mentor at ADPList, I mentored over 40 UX/UI designers, providing tailored feedback on portfolios, resumes, and interview strategies, earning recognition as a top 10% achiever in Germany for impactful mentorship.
I led an amazing Product Design team at Laserhub. Proud of what we accomplished together!
