Mentoring Designers · Experienced in Designing for Startups
I've been working as a designer for 9+ years, mainly focused on early-stage startups. If you've been able to work at a startup then you know how it forces you to wear a *lot* of hats in the organization. I also ran a small design studio called Mondays, where we focused on brand, web, and product design for clients ranging from pre-funding startups to billion dollar organizations. I've mentored lots of younger designers and find tremendous fulfillment in helping newer designers hone their skills.
