I’d like to help my mentee find a new job in design.

I’d love to review my mentee’s portfolio and help him/her build a strong brand.

I’d be open to sharing career advice and industry insight – perhaps I’ll even learn a thing or two from my mentee!

I’d love to share my experience and offer advice on being an effective negotiator.

I could offer advice on how to manage people or work with stakeholders.

I’d like to help someone considering a career transition from Agency to In-House.

I’d like to make more connections in the industry with designers of all ages.

I’m looking forward to geeking out with a fellow design nerd.

I’m interested in helping a mentee transition into the UI/UX design field.

I could help a young designer learn about freelancing and what it takes to make it as a self-employed designer.

I’m down for making a new friend who happens to also be a designer.

I’m totally flexible. I am happy to offer guidance, expertise, and support in any way that meets my mentee’s needs and interests.
