UX Mentoring
4 years ago I quit my job that required a college degree, learned how to code, built a design portfolio, and became a UX Designer at a top company. I tripled my income that year. It's had a huge impact on my ability to design my life as I see fit.
I’ve written many articles on how to break into UX without going back to school and I've been mentoring aspiring and ambitious UX'ers for over a year now. I've helped dozens of people get into UX and progress in their careers.
Mentorship is personalized to the individual, your experiences, and your future goals. No two sessions are exactly the same, because everyone is starting somewhere different.
I've put together different packages for all needs and budgets below, based on what I've seen and offered to my mentees for the past year that have been the most helpful.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your UX goals!

Testimonials
"Breanna was incredibly helpful in helping me understand what it takes to transition to the UX field.
Her knowledge on what employers are looking for, in addition to her warm attitude and vast career know-how, helped me prepare for two dream-job interviews that I later obtained offers for!"
- Ayanfe
UX Content Strategist at Twitter
"Breana was direct in giving me specific feedback for where I was in the UX process. Whether that was struggling to find tools to improve my UI or how to navigate cross-collaboration in my internship, she was able to help.
We are both from the same self-taught UX journey.
I felt comfort in knowing she was able to be so successful in building a UX/UI career at a top software company, while also writing about her experiences to help others transparently on Medium."
- Katie
UX Design Intern at LSQ
“I came to Breana with an idea for an app.
I wasn’t sure how to make it come to life, or how much work it would take to create a simple design.
I wanted to learn the UX process from start to finish. The ins and outs of creating an amazing, user-friendly product or idea.
With a few sessions and lots of questions, Breana helped me work through each step individually, and provided me with a backbone to refer to for future projects.
Additionally, I received feedback on my resume, and ideas on how to create a portfolio.
Within one session with Breana you will feel not just confident in your work, but eager to take on more projects and pursue your design career, or hobby, further!”
