I've mentored 200+ aspiring designers

What Past Mentees Said About their Experience

In 60 minutes, you did more for me than a business coach that I literally spent thousands of dollars on in six months.

You listened to where my experience was and where my strengths are and really helped me to find clarity on how to bring in an element of business that I didn't even know was possible.

— Britt H.

You are so kind and supportive while also delivering such high quality, straightforward, and thorough guidance.

It felt like you were so open and thorough with all of the things you were sharing, and were also bringing up things that would be helpful for me to know without me even thinking to ask!

— Nicole S.

MEET YOUR MENTOR, alyssa

I'm a self-taught brand designer turned educator with a no-gatekeeping policy!

I’m here to help you reach your design dreams without the pressure & fluff. I know what it’s like to try and piece together everything and it’s so hard to know what you don’t know! I'm offering mentorship calls to help lower the barrier of entry to the design world and to make the entrepreneurship ride 🎢 a little smoother.

This is perfect for you, if...

You're feeling stuck but not sure how to move past it, or what’s holding you back in the first place.

You have a specific question or area that you want answers to, and it’s not something you can Google!

You want someone that will give you no-fluff answers that are based on real experience.

You need some occasional guidance without getting locked into a coaching program or mastermind.

You’re a designer or creative that has a business setup and wants to grow (not a total newbie).

This is not a great fit, if...

You’re a newbie to the design world and want to learn how to design and start a business (There’s too much to cover—you should consider my design course, The Designers’ Summer Camp 🏕️ instead!

You’re a service provider, but not a creative professional or designer. It’s not you—it’s me! I probably don’t the right expertise to help you.

How the Mentorship Calls Work

Tell me what you need help with in the application 📝

Apply for mentorship below and tell me all about you, your questions, and your goals! I'll take a look and see if we're a good fit, and send a confirmation to move forward.

Once approved, schedule the call & send payment 🗓️

After the confirmation, you'll get a link to schedule your call and to pay for your session! You can book up to 2 weeks in advance, or let me know what dates you're looking for.

Fill out the Intake Form & prep for the call 📞

You'll get a Google Cal invite with a link to the meeting, and a link to the intake form, where you can provide all the details & questions you have before the call.

Do you have a guarantee or refund policy?

I can't make any guarantees to the results or outcome of our call, because I can't and won't make false promises! I will, however, guarantee my full transparency with my advice and full efforts to make the call as valuable & helpful as possible.

If you decide to cancel, you can get a full refund for any calls not held if you cancel at least 2 hours in advance! If you have to cancel a call but want to reschedule, there's no added fees!

Do I get follow-up support after our call?

After our call, feel free to send me an email updating me on your progress! If you have follow-up questions, you can let me know and I can decide if I can answer them quickly via email, or if we need to schedule another call.

Do you offer discounts or scholarships?

The rate you see is my best attempt to make these calls as affordable as I can, while still being fair to my time & expertise! I do, however, offer unlimited mentorship with my Designers' Summer Camp, which you can apply for a partial or full scholarship for every summer!

How far in advance can I schedule calls?

My schedule is usually the most accurate up to 14 days in advance, but we can always work together to schedule the calls if you have a quick deadline OR if you have a pace you want to set for future calls. Just let me know via email when we're discussing the session and I'll help you out!

What do you need from me before we start?

I'll send you a mentorship intake form before our call that helps me collect as much information as possible about your questions/situation so that I can prep in advance. Make sure to fill this out before our call— preferably at least 24hrs before!

If you want to show me anything or walk me through something, just indicate that in your form, and either share the links/files in the form OR have them ready to go for screensharing during the call.

The call is mostly about you, so some people like to have a list of questions prepared, others like to send me questions in advance, but just prepare whatever will help you get the most out of the call!

Why was I denied a call?

I never want to deny anyone, but if I do, it's for your own benefit! It usually means that something in your application makes me think I'm not the best person to help you and I don't want to waste your time or money. It might also mean I'm in a busy period and don't have the capacity to take anyone on, but I'll let you if that's the case.

If you feel like I'm wrong about my evaluation, you can always email me to discuss it further!

Are any other resources included in the call?

There's nothing explicitly included besides the call itself & the recording, but I'll often share links to free resources during or after the call or suggest paid products that fit the given advice. If you're looking to access more of my paid resources, I would recommend joining the Designers' Summer Camp, which comes with unlimited mentorship AND every resource I've ever made!

How do I know if a mentorship call is right for me?

I would check the section called "This is perfect for you if..." to see if any of those characteristics matches you! If you're reading through this and you're still not sure, I would recommend applying anyways and I can see if we're a good fit based on what you provide! You can also send me an email if you want to talk it through.
