How to find a good design mentor
Finding a good mentor is very personal. So speaking from experience, I prefer mentors that:
4 qualities of a good mentor
1) Experience and Expertise:
- Are a few steps ahead of where I want to be.
- Share with practical, actionable knowledge I can use right away (no fluff).
2) Proven Track Record:
- Have a proven track record—someone who:
- understands the nuances of what I’m asking
- has mentored people like me before
- has success stories to share
3) Two-Way Relationship:
- Offer a two-way value exchange—honest conversations, where we both understand each other's value and how we can help each other.
4) Supportive and Invested:
- Are open to feedback and focused on helping me achieve my goals—fighting in my corner, not just giving generic advice, and genuinely invested in my growth.
