How I landed at Pinterest for product design (2025)

Figured it's about time I share where I'm working! It's been exciting to get here but required a lot of BTS work (hence why I had to step aside from content). The job market is a different, albeit harder, ballgame now. I share how I went from failure (barely any interviews) to success (juggling 8+ onsites at one point).

With a new job, it's been an all-hands-on-deck-situation, so I didn't have time to film a long video. However, I felt like I had to get this video out for other designers—especially as I saw a day and night shift in interviews when I adapted new strategies. The essence of my advice is captured here.

Thank you again for your support along the way, as we build our dreams together! ❤️
