Mentorship

Clarity, not just advice.

I've spent more than 5 years supporting designers at every stage — from students finding their footing to seniors navigating what comes next. My guidance is grounded in empathy and strategic insights, serving as the compass that direct your path towards growth and meaningful connections.

Who I work with

01

Stuck, and unsure why

You've been at it for a few years. Promotion isn't happening, feedback stays vague, and you're starting to wonder if the problem is you.

02

Job searching without traction

Applications go unanswered. Your portfolio feels like something is missing. You make it to final rounds — but not the offer.

03

Ready for the next level

Your craft is solid. You want to move into lead or management, but you're not sure how to demonstrate strategic thinking or build that case.

How it works

01

Choose your format

Coffee Chat (Embark) for a quick gut-check. Deep Dive (Explore) for a full portfolio or strategy session. Ongoing (Empower) for sustained support over time.

02

Share your context

A short chat before we meet. Helps me prepare so we spend the session working, not getting up to speed.

03

Work through it together

Video call with screen share if needed. We look at your actual work, talk through real decisions, and find the next step.

04

Leave with something concrete

Follow-up notes after every session. You leave knowing exactly what to do next — not just feeling better about things.

Common questions

Primarily Mandarin Chinese — though English is completely fine too.

Always. Video call via Google Meet. I work with designers in Taiwan, Singapore, Canada, and beyond.

Most people leave their first session with a concrete next action. Longer-term progress depends on follow-through — I can give you clarity and momentum.

Embark is like a Coffee Chat with one focused question, 30 minutes. Explore is a full portfolio review, career strategy, or end-to-end problem — it needs the full hour.

Yes. Add me on LINE and tell me what's going on. We'll figure out the right format before you book anything.
