Pointer - Mentors

 

Why seek out mentors?

  • I believed that consistent feedback was the smoothest path to great design.

  • I valued guidance on industry standards from seasoned design professionals.

  • It recreated the work flow of working in a team such as balancing different opinions and considering different departments.

  • Working with different individuals in design, from branding to product, allowed a deeper understand of the industry from several angles.

 

The Mentors

 
 
 
 
 

I had close mentorship with frequent critiques from a group of amazing female designers. Go team!

  • Mentor - This senior product designer was my go-to with over 6 years of experience. She advised me on everything from wireframing, Figma hot keys, to portfolio review. Currently at Digit.

  • Advisor #1 - An inspiring senior product designer with a background in architecture. She was great at guiding my thought process throughout and reviewing my portfolio. Currently at Salesforce

  • Advisor #2 - This boss owns her own design agency! She was also essential in advising UI details and happened to be a dog owner. Currently at Tributary Design.

 

Thanks to the wonderful mentors who helped me to build Pointer! You were all amazing.
