4 out of 5 stars
Maia is a fantastic mentor for anyone breaking into design or looking to improve their portfolio/process and land their dream position. I worked with her for a long time and can say she’s been a valuable asset to my career growth! I would suggest being prepared to ask specific questions and have a plan for where you want to take your career before working with Maia, as she is very good about helping you improve many aspects of your design and soft skills that you will need to succeed in your career.
Hi Austin, Thank you for your kind review and for allowing me to support you in your design journey. It’s been a pleasure to see your growth and accomplishments – you’ve come so far, and I’m excited to see where your career takes you next. I noticed you rated our mentorship 4 stars, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on what could have made it a 5-star experience. Were there any specific expectations you had going into the mentorship that I could have addressed better? Your feedback is incredibly valuable as I continue to refine my approach and ensure I meet the needs of future mentees. Best regards, Maia

My experience working with Maia has been life changing for my career and professional development. Maia is an active listener, easy to follow and provides safe space when discussing workforce concerns and design solutions. She goes above and beyond when responding to my messages in a quick manner and her figma skills are superb. Each time we meet, she always has an organized structure of what we should follow for that meeting to address my concerns. I recommend Maia to anyone who’s looking for professional growth or Ux opportunities!
