Designers

Designers reach out when they want to sharpen their craft — or when they’re stepping into leadership and it suddenly feels like a different job. I’ve been through both: years as an IC shipping products, then building and leading design teams. I’m also a certified coach, so we can go beyond craft into how you grow as a person—not only as a designer or a leader.

I’ve been a product design mentor for years. Some people come to sharpen craft. Some come for design leadership coaching, when the job quietly changes.

What I do

  • Craft

    Mid-level and senior · leveling up

    Get better at problem-solving, presenting work, and making the decisions behind the design, not just how things look.

  • Leadership

    Senior and lead · moving into management

    Move from your first lead role to running a team, owning outcomes, growing people, and no longer doing all the design yourself.

What they say

Petr Mihle

I came to Martin as a developer more than five years ago, and he’s mentored me ever since as I grew into a product designer. We worked through design decisions together while I was upskilling, and talked through my own startup’s direction. He helped us with important product changes at StartupJobs, such as onboarding, changing the pricing, and applying the rebrand in the product.

How I work

We meet bi-weekly, without a fixed curriculum, and work on whatever is most real for you right now.

The first conversation is a free call. Email if that’s easier.
