About this session

Book this session to discuss your goals and see what's possible for you in the design industry. I'll inform you on what design is, how your current experience can be utilized, and what steps to take to change careers.

You can also choose this session if you're still unsure about a full mentorship and want to see if we're a good fit!

Your mentor

Hi, I'm Makayla, a Product Design Manager with 4+ years of experience focusing on User Experience and User Interface Design. I also have 5+ years of experience using Figma. I pivoted careers from being a Microbiologist to UX/UI Design. I have a B.S. in Biochemistry and M.A. in Psychology. Throughout my journey, I used Mentor Cruise for my own career growth and development and I want to return the favor!

As your mentor, here's what I can do for you:

✦ help you navigate the decision on pivoting careers into UX/UI/Product Design
✦ be a Google UX Course guide (former "alumni" here) or if you're currently taking a certification/course and need someone to teach you Figma & design best practices as you go, I'm yo gal
✦ guide you through the ambiguity of being a designer for a budding company (i.e. design system advice, working solo, informing others on what design means, advocating for user research)
✦ help walk you through best design processes and establish working systems for your company
✦ be your sounding board for design decisions
✦ assist in how to work across teams successfully
✦ help navigate work relationships, decide if it's time to move to a new company, or advocate for that promotion/raise

More about me as your mentor:

✦ I listen to your whole story/situation and give practical advice and action items curated to your circumstances
✦ My mentor style consists of anecdotal experience, hands-on demos, example dialogue, resources, and lots of encouragement and support!
✦ Others say I'm encouraging and down-to-earth. I've often heard from those closest to me that I have a knack for streamlining their jumbled situation into a clear roadmap that makes sense to them.

If any of this resonates with you - please send me your top 3 goals you'd like to accomplish during your mentorship with me. Looking forward to helping you grow into who you were meant to be!
