About Lian Xin Lim
Lead Product Designer at Johnson & Johnson
🛑 CURRENTLY TAKING A PAUSE FROM ADPLIST 🛑
Hey there, I'm Lian Xin, a Product Designer working at Johnson & Johnson, one of the world's largest healthcare and pharmaceuticals company!
I was a mid-career switcher who successfully broke into the UX industry upon graduation from a UX design bootcamp in Singapore.
Having spoken to a couple of people who are thinking to do the same, I've decided to come onto ADPList to help answer some of your burning questions:
✷ What are the pros and cons of going through a UX bootcamp?
✷ How can I learn UX for free?
✷ Is UX right for me?
✷ How to land a job as an entry-level designer? How can I leverage my past experiences as a mid-career switcher to land a job in UX?
✷ Should I be a generalist or specialist?
I also offer CV and portfolio reviews, mock case study presentation critique sessions, and job offer evaluation. Whether you're looking for one-off guidance, or long-term mentorship, if any of the above speak to you, come chat!

- General Mentorship + Portfolio Review (45 min): The session will be split into two parts—general mentorship and portfolio review. Ideal for mentees who would like to discuss everything within one session.

What mentees say
“I approached Lian Xin because we shared a similar path being UX bootcamp graduates and I wanted to learn about her journey. She is a friendly mentor who shared about her journey openly. We also went through my portfolio and she gave very helpful and constructive comments on how I could improve on them from the pov of a hiring manager.”
“Lian Xin is definitely a good mentor in giving advises and sharing a lot of her experience, supporting me to become a product designer. She always provides constructive feedback on my work, and helps me grow along the journey as a self-taught product designer, encouraging me to think beyond than just a junior or freshie.”
“Lian Xin's advice is very strategic and realistic. She helped me a lot on my journey to becoming a good UX Designer. I feel comfortable sharing my concerns and questions with her, and listening to her honest feedback. Will have another session with her in the future. Thank you, Lian Xin!”
