Sessions with Stuart Kim

• General Mentorship Session (45 min): Think of this as design office hours where you drive the conversation. Bring your questions, challenges, or work and we'll focus on what matters most to you — whether that's career direction, design feedback, or aligning your work with your deeper purpose. No agenda except what serves you best. I provide targeted and intensive mentoring/coaching through my studio if that is what need but let's start here. The ADPlist calendar session doesn't work properly sometimes and can lead to meeting cancellations and other issues.

What mentees say

“Stuart is a great listener, and he also asks thoughtful questions. Our conversation felt very personalized; I never found his advice to be generic. I really appreciated his perspective on how I can move forward with my industry transition, and I found his advice very actionable. I’d definitely recommend him as a mentor. Thanks, Stuart!”

“Stuart is an exceedingly thoughtful mentor! I've met with him several times - I always appreciate how diligently he invests in my success, asking open-ended questions and remembering small details about my journey, weaving them back in to push my thinking further.”

“Had a career strategy session with Stuart. Super approachable and respectful, with a strong depth of knowledge behind everything he says. What stood out was how clearly he structures ideas, turning a broad conversation into something precise and actionable. I didn’t expect a follow-up at all, but he sent one and didn’t miss a thing, that’s what a real mentor looks like. Really glad we connected.”
