A direct and practical conversation about product design, career growth or portfolio
I help you see your next steps more clearly - whether you're improving a case study, structuring your growth as a designer, preparing for an interview, or unlocking decisions on a real project.
I work with designers who are serious about getting better - not just learning tools, but understanding how to think about product, grow within their roles and build work they're proud of.

About me
I'm a design leader who has led design at both product and organisational levels. Most of what I teach came from making the mistakes myself, not from a curriculum. A big part of my work has been helping designers move from execution to ownership - and teams move from output to impact.

What we can work on
Portfolio and case studies
Honest critique on your existing work - what's landing, what isn't and what to cut. We work on the thinking behind the case study, not just how it looks.
Product thinking
Moving beyond screens. How to frame problems, work with PMs, connect design decisions to business context and talk about your work at a senior level.
Interview prep
Live mock interviews with real feedback, built around formats used at mid-to-large product companies. Not generic tips - actual practice.
Career direction
If you're stuck - between roles, between specialisms, or trying to level up - I help you map a path that makes sense for where you actually want to go.
Decision-making
For live project decisions you're unsure about. I bring a senior lens to trade-offs, constraints and framing - so you can move with more confidence.

Kshitija Deshpande
Product DesignerWhat an eye-opening session had with Adesh. As a solo designer, I was always confused about which one to focus on first, UI or UX. Discussing with him was eye-opening, and I got a clear vision of where to focus. His way of explaining made my day. Thanks, Adesh.
