Currently Senior Director of Creative at Hiive. Previously Instacart. I've been in the creative world for 15 years both in-house and agencies. I'm also a managing partner at a boutique creative and marketing agency network.
โI had a great conversation with Andrew. He helped to contextualize recent changes in the design industry, and then showed me a strong example and suggested I use it as a reference for improving my portfolio. He gave some ideas for strengthening my design samples and customizing my job applications. He encouraged me to apply for job listings the same day they're posted.โ
โHonestly, 30 minutes felt like more than enough, even made me wonder what a full hour with him would uncover. Andrew was direct, no sugar coating, which is exactly what I needed at this stage. Already working through the feedback he gave on my portfolio structure. Would definitely book another session down the line. Thank you Andrew Chen for the time and honesty.โ
โI had an outstanding experience with my mentor. Their amazing communication skills made complex concepts easy to understand, while their extensive subject knowledge inspired me to explore new approaches in my work. They provided incredible motivation and effective problem-solving strategies that truly empowered me. I highly recommend booking a session with this mentor.โ
