Mentorship

Overview

One-to-one mentorship for designers on portfolios, careers, and research, from students breaking in to people already in product roles. Sessions stay concrete: what to cut from a case study, how hiring managers read the work, and what to practice before the next interview. I have mentored through ADPList and AIGA New York, and earlier was a mentee in AIGA New York’s Early Career Mentorship Program.
