Sessions with James Robinson
- Mentorship Session (30 min): General mentorship
What mentees say
“James is one of the best people I’ve ever talked to. I remember feeling absolutely terrified for my first design interview. In one session, he was able to alleviate so much of my interview anxiety and concerns about the design recruitment process. I appreciate that he not only gave me practical and actionable ways to improve my portfolio, but also took the time to understand me as a person.”
“Great conversation with James. he has a wealth of insights and pointers to give on design, career, and life. Great person to talk to and he can be your sounding board and mentor. He is very thoughtful in the way he articulates and explains his point of view- starting at a high level and then breaking into small parts so that it is easy to consume. I learned this technique from him.”
“I had the pleasure to meet with James for a delightful as well as fruitful mentoring session. I really appreciate that he took time before our session to review throughout my portfolio, and his feedbacks were straight to the point, insightful and both in the high and detailed level. Plus, I'm also impressed by James' passion for design and positive attitude. Thank you so much James!!!”
