About
I created a UX design mentorship program to help emerging designers, both recent grads and career changers, land their first full-time UX job. I like to bring in fellow product and UX folks in to give feedback, help conduct mock interviews, and expose my mentees to more people in the industry. There's alot of different ways you can help emerging UX designers, depending on how much time you can share.
Ways you can help out
