About Lydia Jiang

UX/UI designer at Google

I'm a UX/UI designer currently in the SF Bay Area. I broke into the industry with no formal design background, and I've helped mentees in similar situations get their first design jobs.

I'm a good mentor for you if: You struggle finding an entry-level job You just graduated from an HCI program or UX bootcamp You don't know how to advance past basic design skills You need a portfolio critique You feel like you're stuck in a loop of "need experience to get experience"

What mentees say

“Prior to our mentoring session, I was feeling anxious about my upcoming interview since it would be my initial interview experience in the United States. However, Lydia's friendly demeanor and insightful advice regarding the essential points to address, as well as what to exclude, significantly eased my nerves.”

“Lydia provided unique insight on how I can improve my portfolio. She shared lots of great examples and how she collaborates best with engineers. I loved speaking with her as she was very friendly, fun, and honest. I highly recommend Lydia for those exploring how they can improve their portfolios or want to learn how to tackle the end-to-end process cross-functionally. Thanks Lydia!”

“I've had a mentoring session with Lydia and I was impressed by the way she provided valuable pieces of advice. She is a great mentor and I highly recommend Lydia to other designers as a mentor!”
