Overview

During my time at Acklen Avenue I collaborated in the Internship Career Path for Designers.

Mentoring-ish

My role as a mentor included:

• Weekly 1:1s: Online meeting structured in two parts. The first 30 minutes were dedicated for a quick check up and(1:1 talk), and the other half was for pairing, in order to help them in execution and decision making.
• Review of their work: I dedicated a specific amount of hours weekly to review their work, both for training and the work they were doing for internal or client projects.
• Training material and resources: We met monthly with the Design Team Leader to refine resources needed and to make sure interns will have eveything for their training.

Additionally, I collaborated in the interview process for the Design Team. I learned how to conduct pair design sessions, and how to create an appropriate environment when conducting them.
