In this flexible advisory session, we can dive straight into whatever is on your mind and map out a practical path forward.

Portfolio & Career Impact
Real case study transformations through actionable design critique
Shima is an expert mentor — she clarified all topics for me and gave me tips and red flags for my product journey. I'm into having a long-term connection with her, as we had a long and warm discussion the first time.
She answered my questions very clearly and I now know how I can improve my knowledge. She has a good understanding of the issues and helped me very carefully, away from marginal discussions.
I really enjoyed this session and learned a lot more than I expected. I look forward to having more sessions like this. She really helped.
