Design Mentorship
How it works: Together, we get clear on what you’re chasing — a new role, your creative spark back, a niche that’s truly yours, or sharper storytelling around your work. Then we build the roadmap, and I’m with you at every step.

What I offer
I build alongside you — practical mentoring for the moments that shape your craft, confidence, and impact.
01
Craft & confidence
Sharpening how you present your work and quieting the self-doubt behind it.
02
Finding your niche
Getting clear on what kind of designer you want to become — and where your best work belongs.
03
Leveling up to senior/lead
Making the jump with clearer expectations, stronger habits, and a more confident voice.

Working with stakeholders
Navigating pushback, building buy-in, and growing your influence without losing the point of view.
Qualities I offer as a mentor
Active listening & safe space
I help name what’s going on and give it structure — without pressure or judgment.
Facilitating the conversation
I keep our meetings usefully on track, asking the questions that steer us toward what matters most to you right now.
Quality, clear feedback
Feedback that’s concrete, actionable, and moves you forward — never vague or purely critical.

“When I met Tereza, I was the sole designer at a company with low design maturity. I was struggling with stakeholder management and, overall, lacked the support I needed to grow.
Over the next seven months, Tereza became much more than a mentor.
She consistently went the extra mile to prepare for our sessions, helped me build my professional confidence, establish effective design processes, and navigate challenging situations.
Most importantly, she gave me the confidence and guidance that ultimately helped me land a role that was a much better fit for my career.”

“My journey with Tereza has been incredibly insightful and productive.
With her invaluable guidance, I've not only gained more confidence in my new role in a different country but also navigated the challenges of a new job with ease. Starting a new role can be overwhelming, but having Tereza as my mentor proved to be a wise decision. She provided me with invaluable design advice, including portfolio reviews, insights into heuristic design solutions, and I even facilitated a themed-based roadmap session with my team under her mentorship. I'm genuinely grateful for taking the leap and embarking on this mentorship journey.”
