Portfolio Presentation Bootcamp

Learn the art of storytelling with a proven system and actual case studies that led to job offers.

START NOW

you have an upcoming UX interview

Maybe even next week—which means you're ready to put in the work ASAP and get immediate results.

LET'S START

tell me, is this you?

  • 1

    You feel like you've got solid work experience, but keep getting passed over because you struggle with storytelling and pitching.

  • 2

    You've read "Solving Product Design Exercises" by Artiom and countless Medium articles, but struggling to find solid guidance on portfolio presentations

  • 3

    You want to see actual interview case studies that led to tech offers, not broad tips.

  • 4

    You’re tired of being rejected with vague feedback, despite the tremendous efforts you've put into your portfolio.

  • 5

    You want to optimize for the best interview outcomes and land a new role sooner than later.

  • 6

    You are willing to invest in quality mentorship, saving time and effort.

imagine if...

  • You impress your interview panel with your portfolio presentation.

  • You are confident and prepared for tough Q&A questions at the end of your presentation.

  • You hear back in less than 3 days that you got the job offer.

  • Instead of learning through trial and error, which could take many more months, you save time and money

  • You successfully negotiate for top salary because you "hit it out of the ballpark" with your interview performance!

Received offer from Shopify

I had the pleasure of working with Lily for three sessions (2025), and her guidance was truly invaluable. In a tough job market where standing out as a product designer is more challenging than ever, she helped me revamp my portfolio, refine my personal brand, and approach interviews with a fresh perspective.

Her feedback on my app critiques and portfolio was sharp, actionable, and exactly what I needed to make my work more compelling. She didn’t just point out areas for improvement—she gave me concrete examples on how to showcase my design thinking and unique strengths. More importantly, she was incredibly empathetic, trying to help me where she could in the short amount of time we had together. I've worked with other mentors before, but Lily is the first mentor I felt actually cared about my success.

Thanks to her insights, I now have a clearer vision of how to position myself and tackle interviews. If you're looking for a mentor who truly cares and will push you to think outside the box, I highly recommend Lily!

Shopify product designer

Received multiple offers

"This demystified storytelling for me. This was the missing secret ingredient. Interviewers were not able to tell me specifically what it is, but they were telling me that I'm missing from it. It was also nice to approach our presentations like a product. I got three offers. Just a BIG thank you Lily!"

Successfully transitioned to product design from branding after private coaching

"She teaches you the product design thinking... [From behavioral to portfolio presentation]... I can guarantee you her mentorship is 10/10 and A+. [She] will get you where you need to go." Watch the full video testimony here.

"If not for this bootcamp, I wouldn't have a ready to interview presentation. I'm a procrastinator, so I cannot do it on my own. Also, I overcame the fear of presenting imperfect perfect work. I feel like it really helped not just presenting my portfolio, but persuade other designers."

You are an incredible teacher & I am thankful you are doing this work! If needed, I will certainly come back to you to learn more 🙂 I will totally recommend your interview club to others.

Lily was extremely helpful during our 1-1. She gave me really good advice and critique concerning my take-home assignment and case studies, helping me see certain blind spots in my work. It was really awesome to get constructive and actionable feedback, and our conversations shifted my perspective in approaching product design.

Lily's coaching and hands-on workshops have transformed my job search. Not only is she easy to talk to, but she's also packed with amazing insights. Her insider tips have been invaluable, especially in uncovering blind spots. With her years of experience, she offers a unique perspective that helps designers grasp what hiring managers are seeking, which has been incredibly enlightening. A huge shoutout to Lily for her invaluable insights!
Young D.,
Senior product designer @ Aspect

Working full-time in product design

"Just being able to present 1:1 with other people helped me a lot. A lot of mentors didn't provide that advice to gather feedback early [like Lily taught]. I was missing the aspect of putting my process in front of other people. I feel more confident about my pitch deck and the skills that I learned."
