How to Find a Design Mentor // Michael Janda and Elize Todd discuss how to find a mentor. Elizé explains that there are mentors all around. Follow people on social media, read books, consume content. Your mentor doesn’t need to know that they are your mentor. Michael talks about the importance of building a supporting relationship with a potential mentor first. Don’t just go for the ask. Support them and they will likely support you back when the time come.
