Teslim is one of the most remarkable designers I’ve met. The advice he’s given me has set me on a great design career path.
He was the missing piece my career journey needed. Talking with Teslim leaves you feeling empowered and motivated. He gives you clarity on the steps you need to take to help you achieve your career goals.
While interviewing at Microsoft, he helped me prepare and gave me key pointers that set me up for success and led to an offer.
His mentorship program is more like a partnership to get you the best outcome of your desired goals. He’s kind, intelligent, and knows how to get you to where you are going! “

Signing up for Teslim’s Product Design One-one mentorship was the best career decision I’ve ever made! I was initially hesitant before the first call, or if he’d even accept my application in the first place.
The first call changed everything! What did I learn? Everything! From Networking tips(who to network with), to resume review and interview preparation links.
Asides from being super resourceful, Teslim listened to me. That felt good you know, and getting quality feedback from someone who really understands the struggle of emerging designers from this part of the world(Nigeria).
The best part? I got 2 amazing offers from great companies, amazing benefits + fully sponsored relocation. My life will never be the same again, for good!.

Teslim paid close attention to me sharing about my career journey from inception to date and was incredibly helpful in steering me in the right direction. He cleared all the doubts I had about my areas of improvement and shared about his journey too.
After our first mentorship session, I had a clear idea of what I was lacking and
what resources I needed to put together to be interview ready. His advice
was tailored to my needs at the time and was incredibly helpful.
Teslim was also great at providing recommendations to resources I needed to
prepare with and as a favor, provided a job referral in the process. I could reach
out at any point with a question and get a swift response. Overall, I have had a
wonderful experience being mentored by Teslim and I would recommend this
design fellowship to any underrepresented designer I know.

"One of the first lessons I learned during my transition into UX design is that it's both about what you know as well as who you know, and I can say that knowing Teslim has been a life changing experience. His careful mentoring and honest feedback helped fortify my confidence and changed the trajectory of my career for the absolute best."
