About this Session
If you're looking for a mentor, and you're just not sure about how this all works – this one is for you. In a casual, informal introductory call, a mentor will introduce themselves, show you around the platform, explain how our mentorships work, and explain how they would set up a mentorship with you.
This session is perfect if you're looking for a long-term mentor, but you're just not sure how this can work – or if you already set eyes on a specific mentor, and want to get to know them beforehand.

A little about me:
I currently lead product design for Apple Intelligence across iOS (Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Phone, Contacts, etc). I’ve served on hiring committees across Apple, Google, and Microsoft. I know exactly how candidates are evaluated and how to help you stand out.
My mentorship is structured in 2 parts:
1. Daily offline support
You get daily written feedback, structured guides, examples, portfolio reviews, interview feedback, and clear next steps between calls, so you always know exactly what to improve and why. Progress happens between sessions, not during them.
2. Live calls using a funnel-based approach
I run structured studies with recruiters and hiring managers every six months to better understand how candidates are evaluated and what separates those who get interviews from those who don't. Combined with my experience serving on hiring committees at Apple, Google, and Microsoft, this gives you practical, up-to-date guidance based on how hiring decisions are actually made.
