When I'm not designing or teaching, I set aside some time for pro-bono mentoring or speaking opportunities to give back to the design community. I find it rewarding to share my experience and stories with others. Please reach out to me directly if you'd like to discuss a speaking engagement.
Every Tuesday evening, I offer a 30-minute session for individual mentorship. Take a look at the topics below and you can book with me via Calendly.
Joy was so helpful on a variety of topics in our session. She gave me practical and actionable advice to improve my resume and portfolio. She also gave me valuable advice on my career path and job search strategy. I am clear on what to do next and feel less anxious. Thank you, Joy!

Joy is a great listener, she took down notes and asked me questions to get a better understanding of my background in how to better assist me during our session. After my first session with her, she made me realize the importance of knowing what you want to do and what you're passionate about. And how to tailor your portfolio and resume to a particular company or industry you want to intern at. I left the call feeling a sense of confidence in what to do next when applying for future opportunities. Thank you Joy!
