About Maria Burke

Design Career Coach at Maria Burke Design

I've spent 12+ years figuring out how to build a design career on my own terms. Now I help other designers do the same.

I offer free sessions for designers who need a second opinion, a gut check, or just an honest perspective from someone who's been around. I'm especially good at: resume and portfolio feedback, navigating the job search without losing your mind, and helping you figure out what you actually want when you're feeling stuck.

I'll tell you what I really think. Bring your questions.

What mentees say

β€œMaria is a wealth of knowledge in this industry and helped motivate me to keep going. I’d just about lost my spark for this work, but her encouragement and direction really helped me remember why I want to get into UX design. 10/10 recommend!”

Jessica Van Hoy, Junior UX Designer at Still Looking for a Job

β€œI had a wonderful mentoring session with Maria. She was attentive, warm, and incredibly insightful, and I really appreciated how thoughtfully she listened to my situation and tailored her advice to my goals. I came away with several concrete ideas I can put into action right away. I’m very grateful for her time and perspective and would highly recommend her as a mentor.”

Sherry Wu, Design Manager at Samsung Electronics America

β€œMaria was a delight to connect with. She was easy to talk to and provided actionable, real advice. Highly recommend booking a session with Maria if you're looking for clarity in your design process.”
