Free Design Mentor – Mustafa Sheikh

“Knowledge is like money: To be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.”

― Louis L'Amour,

The mentorship programs are free of cost 1:1 and group sessions focussed around empowering creatives and designers who are looking to pivot and grow in Design industry.

Be it Product design, Branding or Visual communication arts, I work with these creatives on various topics through workshops, courses, portfolio building exercises, portfolio reviews, personal branding, crafting resume all the way to preparing for interviews in design industry.

Besides that I also help founders and team leaders to integrate design-thinking in their organizations and teams and create design-led businesses.

Why did I start mentoring and teaching

The story is simple. I have always been someone who likes to re-invent himself and pivot into a new design medium. When I moved to Product design, unfortunately I didn’t have much in-person guidance besides some (bless them) YouTubers, a few articles and books.

No click-baits, no marketing funnels, I started this journey purely to help the ones who are entering the design (or product design) industry and finding their way. Some of them are students, fresh-grads and others with a decade or more experience in another field and now pivoting into design and product industry. I do this purely to share any practical knowledge I have gained from working in the industry, in different roles, agencies, projects and countries.
