Mentoring
I’ve been an ADPList mentor since March 2022. ADPList is a global community of Mentors and Learners— a community that was founded in 2021 with a mission to democratize mentorship for all.
Within this period I have mentored over 45 designers, researchers and product managers across 20 countries and I’ve been recognized as a top mentor in two occasions.
I focus on elevating junior and mid-level designers, guiding them in developing leadership skills, making informed decisions, and supporting mentees' long-term career goals.
