About Miriam Contino

Sr. Product Designer at Keysight Technologies

Hi! I’m an Italian Senior Product Designer recently relocated to the US from Germany, with over 7 years of experience shaping intuitive, inclusive digital products that balance what users truly need with what the business strives to achieve.

I see design as a dynamic process of adaptation, leading through change and turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

I’m happy to support or just to have a chat about Design. We can review your profile, refine your CV and portfolio, and practice interviews.

“This was my fourth session with her, and she is always such a thoughtful and supportive mentor. She listens carefully to what I share and always gives me helpful, constructive feedback. She has such a warm personality and always makes me feel encouraged and supported. I really enjoy our sessions and would love to book another one in the future. I also hope we can keep in touch for a long time!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Miriam for three sessions, and I can't express how much progress I've made on my portfolio. Her communication is amazing, and she motivates me to push through. With her knowledge, she provided valuable tips that cleared up my confusion.”

“Miriam has been an incredible mentor. Across our sessions, she gave consistently on-point feedback that helped me sharpen my projects and how I present them. We also practiced interviews. She pushed me to think from the interviewer's perspective, structure my walkthroughs around my design process and decisions, and highlight collaboration with engineers and PMs.”
