Design your way

Coaching and design leadership for modern product teams.

I’m Nina Mehta—your design pair. I coach designers in transition and work with teams as a strategic, hands-on designer. I bring 15 years of leading projects and teams at Stripe, Mailchimp, Twilio, and Pivotal Labs, along with an active design practice today. My approach blends mentorship, strategy, and execution with warmth and clarity.

I work with designers in transition—those leveling up their craft, shifting roles, or growing without strong in-house mentorship. I support solo designers, emerging leaders, and small-team ICs to build their careers with confidence, sharpen their craft, and collaborate with greater influence.

What we work on together:

  • Career and leadership development

  • Hands-on design pairing and critique

  • Building influence and cross-functional collaboration

  • Portfolio and presentation reviews and mock interviews
