Discovery call

This is a free introductory 1:1 call designed to understand your background, goals, and requirements. As a UX Designer 2 at Microsoft, I use this session to understand what kind of guidance you’re looking for—whether it’s NID/CEED preparation, UX/design career counselling, interview preparation, or degree project guidance.

This session is not the full mentorship or counselling session. It is purely meant to help us identify the right direction and see if I’m the right mentor for your needs. If you find the session helpful, you can choose to book one of the paid mentorship sessions for in‑depth guidance.

2. Discussing your goals (exam prep, career, projects, interviews)
