About Hew Suber, MBA

Product Builder and Design Leader at Bayesian Leaf

I design the layer between what people want and what platforms can do. CNN, Meta, Pinterest. Currently doing fractional product and design work with early-stage AI companies.

In sessions, I diagnose before I prescribe. I'll look at your work, or listen and work with you to frame what's actually happening before and what may the next action.

Sessions with Hew Suber, MBA

• Mentorship Session (25 min): General mentorship
• Portfolio & Case Study Storytelling (60 min): Bring one case study or your portfolio flow. I will look at it the way a hiring panel does: what story it actually tells, where the narrative loses the room, and how to restructure it so your thinking is legible. I ran portfolio calibrations at Pinterest and Meta, and storytelling review is the thing my mentees mention most. You leave with a concrete revision plan, not general feedback.
• Design Interview & Panel Prep (60 min): Practice with someone who has been on the other side. I ran interview panels and portfolio calibrations at Pinterest and Meta. Bring an upcoming interview or one that went sideways. We will run your walkthrough or answers live, and I will tell you what the panel actually heard versus what you meant. You leave knowing exactly what to fix before the real thing.
• Breaking Into AI-Native Design (60 min): I build with AI tools daily, Cursor, Claude Code, and Figma, inside real AI-native products. We will cover how AI actually changes design work, which workflows and skills matter now, and how to position yourself for AI-native roles. Grounded in current practice, not theory. Bring your questions or your workflow and we will work on it directly.
• Designer to Product Leader Transition (60 min): For designers who want to own direction, not just execution. Session one diagnoses where you are: your record, your gaps, and how you are being read. Session two builds the plan: business fluency, positioning, and the moves that get you the product seat. I made this transition myself, with an MBA and 15 years across Meta, Pinterest, and CNN. You leave with a written plan you can act on. Note the platform refund policy: full refund if cancelled 48 hours before the second session.
• Monetization & Ads Design Deep-Dive (45 min): Ads and monetization design at scale, from someone who built it: Pinterest's Performance+ and Meta ads products. For designers entering or navigating monetization orgs: how the domain actually works, the revenue versus trust trade-offs, and how to do the work well. Bring your situation and we will work through it.

What mentees say

“The mentoring session with Hew was truly enlightening: he gave me advice in a pragmatic, transparent, and clear way. I recommend it to anyone who needs practical advice to take their professional career to the next level.”

“I had an outstanding experience with Mathew as my mentor. His amazing communication and deep subject knowledge made our session incredibly valuable. He spoke of key mindset shift: fewer mockups, more prototypes. And his PDE approach is eye opener for me. Thank you Mathew once again.”

“I previously had multiple sessions with Matthew regarding career progression and collaboration during design processes. Matthew had extensive experiences and very wise insights given to my situations, they has been extremely helpful to me that even after years I still benefit our conversations.”
