Jon Plummer
Director Of User Experience at Cayuse LLC
I'm a design director. I came up through social work. 27 years shipping across medical devices, consumer hardware, and SaaS – Medtronic, Belkin, Invoca – plus two decades building the teams and processes that make design work inside organizations that weren't built for it. Talk to me if you're pivoting into design, moving from IC toward leadership, building technical fluency, or figuring out what strong design practice looks like as AI reshapes team structures and tools. I'm between roles right now, so I'm working through plenty of this myself – happy to compare notes.

Joy Liu
Senior Design Manager at ServiceNow
I'm a Senior Design Manager at ServiceNow where I bring consumer-grade experience to enterprise products. I have been in the industry for more than 10 years, with most of it being an individual contributor. Collaboration is my jam. If I'm not designing, you'll find me brainstorming with people on physical or digital whiteboards. Topics I specialize in: - Career guidance in the design industry - Improving your design skills to become job-ready - Collaborating effectively with non-design peers - UX tools and design processes - Advancing your design career within a company Note: I don’t offer portfolio or resume reviews. I believe mentorship is a two-way conversation and a long-term commitment to growth. Quick advice without deeper context rarely leads to meaningful impact. If you’re seeking one-off portfolio or resume guidance, I recommend finding a mentor who offers this—and be mindful of overpriced services!

Sanjith B
UX Designer 4 at Juniper Networks
Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I'm Sanjith, a dedicated UX Designer with over 9 years of experience shaping exceptional digital experiences. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with industry-leading companies such as PayPal, Juniper Networks, and Tekion Corp, where I've honed my skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. At PayPal, I led critical portal redesigns, significantly reducing development time and receiving recognition for fostering collaboration and delivering high-quality results. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in improving data quality, fixing over 148.8 million problematic email addresses, and optimizing user support processes, resulting in a 45% reduction in queries. At Juniper Networks, I focused on enhancing end-to-end user experiences for security products and led the development of robust design systems. My contributions were instrumental in ensuring seamless interactions and heightened security for users across various devices and platforms. During my time at Tekion Corp, I developed and maintained design systems for mobile apps and created innovative solutions such as an end-to-end calendar application for managing sales and service appointments. These projects showcased my ability to translate complex requirements into intuitive and user-friendly designs. Notably, at Wekan Enterprise Solution, I took on the challenge of single-handedly creating end-to-end product experiences for both B2B and B2C markets, including the successful launch of OBE Power, which secured $2.3M in Series A funding. I also led the development of an open-source design system, empowering teams to collaborate efficiently and consistently deliver high-quality products. My passion for user-centric design extends beyond the workplace. I'm deeply committed to staying ahead of industry trends and technologies, continuously seeking opportunities to innovate and elevate user experiences. Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring aspiring designers, attending industry events, and contributing to the design community. I firmly believe that great design has the power to transform lives, and I'm excited about the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals who share this vision. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to create impactful and meaningful experiences together!

Tsholofelo Khumalo
Design Leadership Forum at Member
With 11 years of experience connecting behavior, emotion, and mindset with digital experiences, 6 of which were primarily focused on UX, even if my title did not reflect this for three of those years. Constraints and a lack of resources, I've discovered, help us to broaden our thinking, which sparks innovative and creative solutions; this is where the juice of great concepts/ideas is extracted. I'm a product design leader with a proven track record of successfully evangelizing design systems and best practices while managing design teams across multiple projects. Collaboration with product management, development, and business owners in agile environments is my strength. I enjoy combining consumer insight, data analytics, user research, and business requirements to create a user-centered design. I also have extensive experience with user testing, including usability, interviews, and surveys.
