Interview Workshop
A hands-on working session for senior+ design leaders (ICs & Managers) actively interviewing for their next role.
✅ Get clear feedback
✅ Highlight your strengths
✅ Sharpen your story
✅ Grow your confidence
How it works
This is a 45-minute 1:1 working session, shaped around where you are in the process and what you need right now.
You’ll:
Share links to relevant context (e.g. interview guides, job descriptions, case studies)
Set a focus when you book: the challenge you’re facing, or the stage you want to prep for
Use the session to practice, role play, or workshop the hard bits—with honest, experienced feedback throughout
It’s not theory. It’s tailored, practical, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
This is for you if
You have a pretty clear idea of what your next role looks like, you just need help showing up at your best.
You could be:
Early in your search: You’ve had some initial calls but want to sharpen your portfolio, case studies, CV or approach to make a stronger start.
In the interview process: You’re prepping for a key stage and want real-time practice and actionable feedback on the strength of signal you’re demonstrating.
Near offer stage: You want a clear head, an external perspective, and stronger conviction before saying yes, or negotiating.
These sessions aren’t for broad career exploration or general hiring advice. They’re most valuable when you have a clear, practical outcome in mind.
If you’re interviewing for a role with one of the following titles, this is designed for you:
Senior, Lead, Staff, or Principal Product Designer
Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Head of Product Design
While I’ve interviewed candidates across many disciplines, my deep hiring expertise is in product design and design management. That’s where I know what strong signal looks like, and how to help you show it.
Why Tom?
I’ve spent 20 years in product design, hired over 100 people (product designers and design managers), and interviewed more than I can count, for companies like BuzzFeed in New York, Babylon Health during its scale-up phase, and Monzo as Director of Product Design.
You’re about to make a decision that could shape the next few years of your life; how you grow, who you learn from, what you get paid. For something that important, a bit of expert feedback can go a long way.

Sessions are 45 minutes and cost £180.
I’ve set the price below most senior-level coaching because I know many candidates are paying out of pocket, and I want this to be both reachable and genuinely useful. That said, I understand it’s still a meaningful investment. If it feels like the right fit, I’d love to help.
