A message from our mentors

Irene Montalban, Product Strategist, Philosophie

I believe mentorship is a great way to give back and continue helping designers who may not necessarily have the privilege or resources to do so on their own. Plus, I believe mentorship is a mutual exchange, which will allow me to broaden my view into what goes on in other areas and excessive my emotional intelligence.

Ashley Glover, Interaction Designer, Google

My life is a product of the time and investment others saw in my potential at an early age. Because of them, I believe in the importance of paying it forward to others. I would love the opportunity to allow other women of color the opportunity to go farther faster so they can advance the field of UX.

Erin Haywood, Career Coach

The first step to a successful job search is setting an intention and believing you are able to do the job at hand. The job search is a marathon, so you have to develop a resilient and strengths-based approach that will keep you motivated despite setbacks or challenges.

JR Miller, UX Writing Lead and Product Designer, Google

She Designs teaches students how to ask the right questions to appropriately understand a user’s journey. Those questions are essential for positioning yourself as an effective design partner, a thoughtful collaborator, and an effective contributor that can add real value to a cross-functional team.
