One-on-One Mentoring

Whether you’re polishing your portfolio, exploring new techniques, or just seeking a friendly ear to bounce ideas off of and get feedback, a mentor is one of the best way to help you achieve your goals. Let’s breakdown your roadblocks and take your design skills to the next level, together.

A Note from Tirso

For over 15 years, I’ve dedicated my career to the very niche world of magazine publishing. I’ve worked at all 5 top magazine publishers CondéNast, Hearst, Time Inc. DotDash Meredith, and Penske Media, designing for brands like Teen Vogue, WIRED, Travel + Leisure, Food & Wine, to name a few. I’ve tackled projects from print magazine art direction to branded content sites.

Outside of mastering my craft in design, I’ve dealt with navigating the corporate ladder, finding a new job or freelance work, overcoming diversity in the workplace, and learning new skills to stay competitive with the industry. With that said, I’m confident I can help you achieve your goals. 

Opportunities for You

ACCELERATE YOUR DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

I can help you refine and be more efficient in your design process. 

CRAFT A STANDOUT PORTFOLIO

Beyond just technical design details, I’ll cover presentation, what to include, how to curate and how to talk about your work for potential employers and clients.

NAVIGATING YOUR CAREER

Whether you’re struggling to find a job, feeling stuck at the current one, or trying to make the jump into the next level of your career, I’ve been there. I’ve overcome all of those scenarios, and put you on a path for success.

CONFIDENCE FOR THE FUTURE

It will depend on where you’re at, but with a clear roadmap and my expert guidance, you will have confidence to continue on even past the mentoring sessions. My goal for you is sustainable success.

Structure

HOW OFTEN WILL WE MEET

My recommendation would be to meet every week or every other week, in particular if you’re trying to achieve goals sooner, and have accountability throughout. However, some of you may want to meet less frequently. You decide what makes sense for you and your schedule.

THE SESSIONS

All sessions will be done via Zoom. You’ll receive a recording of the call, along with action steps for the next session.

SINGLE vs. MULTIPLE SESSIONS

For all multiple-session bookings, there will be a free 20-minute discovery call to go over your goals, so you have a clear roadmap on what to expect out of the sessions.

Single sessions will be a one-off and can easily booked whenever you need.
