What designers say
Real feedback from designers I’ve mentored
”Marian is the most practical and respectful mentor I’ve ever met. He gave me a wealth of useful feedback, not just on my CV and portfolio, but also on the current job market and how to approach it strategically. The session passed remarkably quickly, as I was fully immersed in the conversation. He truly empowered me to rethink my approach to job hunting. I highly recommend his mentorship and will definitely meet him again with my revised materials.
