About Janus

Hi, I'm Janus! You might know me from my videos on product design, covering design trends, tips, essential tools, and job search advice.

My goal is simple: to be the mentor, senior designer, and manager I wish I had when I first started in design. It took years of trial and error to discover the "secret sauce" of the industry — something that shouldn’t take so long to learn.

With years of experience as a product design lead, I've had the opportunity to design digital products used by millions for companies like Electronic Arts, McKinsey, and BNY Mellon.

I've also taught product design at bootcamps. Now, I’m here to share unfiltered lessons in design and tech careers — think of me as your internet big sis.

I founded Liftyz, which is a career tech career school that helps product designers and tech professionals to prepare for job applications, interviews and accelerate their tech careers. Our holistic approach to career development separates it from other coaching platforms in this industry. Liftyz transcends these boundaries to address the critical aspects of job preparedness with structured curriculums. 

Since launching Liftyz in 2023,  we have empowered over 22,250 designers from 30+ countries through our wide range of services, events and digital products.
