Design mentor and instructor at San Diego Portfolio Studio
I had the humbling opportunity to share knowledge and insights at Portfolio Studio, a highly respected center dedicated to elevating design growth.
My role involved teaching students about the fundamentals and nuances of user experience design, particularly in the context of website and mobile experience creation. Together, we delved into effective information organization, understanding the psychology behind user interactions, and the practical aspects of prototyping and implementing responsive design.
Our focus was on ensuring clarity and ease of use across various platforms, including websites, tablets, and mobile devices, with an emphasis on thoughtful, user-centric design principles.
What inspires you about mentoring?
One of the most fulfilling aspects of mentoring is sharing my passion for design with students and colleagues who exhibit similar enthusiasm and dedication to the creative industry.
It offers a platform to stay actively engaged with fellow professionals, helping me remain current with our field's evolving trends, tools, and best practices.
Additionally, mentoring provides a valuable opportunity to refine skills in storytelling, presentation, and audience engagement.
A profound sense of accomplishment and joy comes when a former student reaches out to share their career progress, discuss a project, or seek advice. This connection and their success are a testament to the shared journey in our field.
