About Mariana Sati

Head of Design at BrandLovers

With over 20 years of experience in product design and design leadership, I help designers gain clarity, confidence, and stronger positioning in the market.

I’ve interviewed and mentored dozens of designers and reviewed hundreds of portfolios and case studies. A pattern I see often is that talented professionals struggle not because of lack of skill, but due to unclear narratives and difficulty communicating their impact.

Through 1:1 mentorship and advisory sessions, I support designers in:

Improving portfolios and case studies with clearer storytelling Clarifying career direction and positioning Preparing for interviews, senior roles, and career transitions

My approach is practical and grounded in real experience. My style is transparent, direct, and focused on honest conversations that lead to clear, actionable next steps.

If you’re looking for clarity, direction, and more confidence in how you present your work, you’re in the right place.
