Design Coaching with Len Collins

The design world can be exciting — and overwhelming.

Whether you’re just starting out, stuck in a mid-career pivot, or struggling to present your work in a way that actually reflects your talent, design coaching can help you gain clarity and take action.

I’ve been a professional designer for over 35 years, working across web, mobile, UX and brand design — with a deep focus on accessibility and purposeful, user-centered work. I’ve led teams, built brands and worked in Europe and North America.

This coaching is for designers at any stage — from new grads to mid-career professionals — who want clearer direction, stronger portfolios and more confidence in their creative path.

What Coaching Looks Like

No vague pep talks — just real, practical support built around your goals. In a coaching session, we might:

Review your portfolio and identify ways to elevate it for your target roles
Refine your personal brand and messaging so your work speaks for itself
Talk through job options, freelancing, or transitioning between roles
Discuss accessibility, process, or how to talk about your design decisions
Set clear next steps that move you forward (without burnout)

Every session is tailored, down-to-earth and focused on helping you feel more confident and in control of your design career.
