Mentee Testimonials
“I had the pleasure of working with Rachel as my career coach during a pivotal moment in my design career. I was seeking someone with experience in both business and creative fields, and Rachel exceeded my expectations. From my initial research, I knew she would be professional, strong, and clear in her guidance. However, what truly stood out was her empathy and genuine effort to understand my goals. Over the course of seven sessions, she provided valuable resources and critiques on my writing that pushed me to think more critically and clearly about my design practice. By the final session, I had a revamped resume, LinkedIn portfolio, short and long-form bios, and the confidence to start applying for design jobs. I highly recommend Rachel to any designer looking to advance their creative career.”
