Breaking into design as a student with Emma

Emma is an attentive, inquisitive, and thoughtful mentor. She tailors her extensive knowledge to your particular needs, and really spends time getting to know you, your way of working, and your goals. I was pivoting into UX from a cross-sectional discipline without any real experience, and instead of automatically labeling me as a beginner, she met me where I was at and helped me utilize and showcase my past experiences without having to start from scratch. With great prompts and exercises, Emma is also action-oriented, which helped me tremendously when staying on track with my to-do's, and her practical tips and advice have already helped me grow in so many ways. She's also a friendly, easygoing, and interesting person to get to know! Really grateful for our time together and looking forward to continuing our mentorship as my career grows!

I’ve had the privilege of being mentored by Emma since June 2023. Emma is a highly experienced UX strategist who genuinely impressed me from our first conversations. She excels in simplifying complex ideas and providing actionable guidance. Her mentorship feels personal and tailored to my career goals. She continuously shares invaluable insights while fostering independence and critical thinking. Last but not least, Emma is extremely friendly and approachable - which makes her an ideal mentor.

Emma is super helpful and really cares. I don't feel like I need to prepare for the sessions which is a big plus when life gets busy. She is able to give me practical advice that applies to my current topics on the fly. She frequently shares resources with me after our sessions. It leaves me feeling confident in tackling my most challenging topic. 10/10 would recommend.

My first interaction with her was when she initiated a 15-minute call before starting our mentorship to ensure alignment and understanding. Her commitment to setting clear goals for each session and promptly responding to emails made the entire process seamless and efficient. Thanks to Emma's mentorship, I've not only gained valuable skills and knowledge but also developed a deeper understanding of myself and my potential.I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone seeking guidance and mentorship.
