What mentees say

“I am really grateful to have the chance to connect with Annalisa. She not only generously gave her time to help me out where not many people are willing to, she also shares lots of practical advice on how I can improve as a designer in my craft. As a former software engineer that had transitioned into product design, I faced numerous challenges in balancing quality vs speed.”

“I am incredibly happy to have gotten the opportunity to connect with Annalisa as a mentor. I requested her to review my portfolio. By far it was one of the most valuable one hour for my professional life. Annalisa’s advice is solidly grounded by her own vast expertise as a designer and her real world work experience. This makes the advice she gives very pragmatic and highly actionable.”

“Annalisa and I chatted about how to craft a freelance career path in product design. She gave some interesting insights on the different industries as well as actionable advice on what skills to improve to be a valuable IC/freelancer to a larger team. Not only is she super clear and concise with her feedback, Annalisa is also a humble and lovely human being.”
