The Design Internship Handbook is the tool we all wish we had when starting our careers as creatives.
Drawing from real-world experiences and examples from the Intern Mentor’s own time hiring and managing young designers, this guide offers clear, easy-to-follow steps to help you prepare for applying to jobs, onboard, and professional growth; all resulting in successfully transitioning into your next role—whether it’s your first or your fifth.
Work With Me
Whether you're preparing for life after graduation, in the thick of a job search, or about to start a new role, the challenge is the same: you know what you want, but not how to get there. Personalized coaching closes that gap with clear strategies, honest feedback, and practical next steps, to go from ‘𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’ to ‘𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.’
Enhance your school’s training and support programs with expert course development, workshops, guest speaking, and fashion industry consulting. Our offerings are designed to build key career readiness competencies identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), helping students gain the skills employers demand for success.
Design process consulting that helps you build an industry-leading intern program, streamline onboarding for faster productivity, and optimize team workflows. Our solutions set individuals and teams up for long-term success by reducing ramp-up time, increasing retention, and driving measurable performance improvements.
