UX Mentorship
The most important step you will take in your journey is always the next one.
I offer mentorship to UX’ers of all levels. I’m proud to say that mentees I’ve worked with have landed jobs at big tech companies, successfully navigated career challenges & advanced from junior to senior to staff designers or researchers.
Kinds words from my mentees
“Talking to Akshay was immensely beneficial! The man is a true legend - his depth of knowledge, abundant resources and support, were remarkable. The call left me feeling empowered to take on the world, or at the very least, navigate the job market with confidence :) I truly appreciated his honest, constructive feedback and spot-on observations! I strongly recommend him as a top-notch mentor! Thank you again Akshay!”

“Akshay helped me get an offer from Amazon! 🥳 He is a supportive, honest, and knowledgeable mentor, and his insights were invaluable. He provided wonderful feedback based on his extensive experience in the industry, which helped me refine my approach and materials. His guidance throughout the interview process was immensely helpful, and I am truly grateful to have someone with his level of experience as a mentor. I highly recommend his mentorship and consultation!”
— Pari, Senior UX Designer
“Akshay's extensive work background has given me valuable insights into how senior design managers might view my career and strengths from a broader, long-term perspective—something I rarely get from an experienced hiring manager’s angle. He’s also a supportive, humorous, and engaging teacher, offering constructive feedback while teaching me negotiation and storytelling skills. I strongly believe Akshay can consistently empower designers at diverse levels to keep growing in their unique ways :)”
