About this session

Career growth rarely happens by accident. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you build a clearer roadmap for where you want to go next and how to get there. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, preparing for a bigger role, or feeling stuck in your current position, this session helps you turn broad ambition into a practical career strategy.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to define your next step, identify the skills and signals that matter, and create a plan for making progress inside your current company or beyond it. Together, you can assess your strengths, spot gaps, map out promotion criteria, and think through how to build visibility, ownership, and momentum over time. The goal is to leave with more clarity, better direction, and a concrete plan to move your career forward with intention.

Your mentor

I've navigated thirty years of career transitions in the games industry — from designer to creative director to studio founder, across AAA, mobile, MMO, and indie. I've hired, promoted, and managed design teams at every level. I know what it actually takes to move up, change lanes, or make the leap to independence.

First, Kevin has demonstrated a very high level of professionalism in both game design and game development. His advice is practical, well-structured, and clearly based on extensive industry experience. Second, what impresses us most is his mentoring style. Rather than giving Julian the answers, Kevin consistently asks thoughtful questions that encourage him to think critically, explain his reasoning, and make his own design decisions. This has helped Julian develop confidence and think more like a game designer rather than simply following instructions. Third, Kevin is always exceptionally well prepared. Before each session, he creates clear and well-organized materials that guide the discussion. After each meeting, he provides detailed notes, summarizes the key decisions, and assigns focused, achievable tasks for the next session. He also gives professional feedback on Julian's work, highlighting both the strengths of his ideas and the areas worth exploring further. Overall, Kevin has created a very structured and supportive learning environment. Julian genuinely enjoys the sessions, stays motivated between meetings, and has already shown noticeable growth in his game design thinking. We are very pleased with the progress so far and look forward to continuing working with Kevin. One additional strength I'd like to mention is Kevin's excellent sense of scope management. He consistently helps Julian focus on building one small, playable piece at a time instead of trying to design the entire game at once. This has been extremely valuable in keeping the project realistic and maintaining Julian's motivation.”
