About this session
Whatever doesn't fit the mold: Get 30 minutes with a mentor to discuss your needs. Be it help with some code, discussing through an issue with your business, help for something at work or an issue with a project.
Your mentor
I’ve been mentoring graduate students at the University of Washington for over five years, supporting them in portfolio development, interview preparation, and career growth. While working at Microsoft as a Senior UX Designer, I also mentored early-career designers and interns, reviewed numerous resumes and portfolios, and guided design decisions across cross-functional teams.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a session?
A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 30 min of their time.
How do I pick a time?
After checkout you pick a slot from Ellen's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.
How does the session take place?
Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.
Can I reschedule?
Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.
