Jeffrey Weeks

“I highly recommend Jeff Weeks as a mentor, particularly in the areas of design systems and Figma. During my time being mentored by him, he consistently went above and beyond to share his expertise and demonstrated immense patience in teaching me. The Figma skills I developed throughout my Designlab journey were directly attributed to his guidance in Career Services. I truly believe any student would greatly benefit from his mentorship.”

“From the start of Career Services, Jeffrey went above and beyond to elevate my job search skills. In one of our first sessions, he conducted a mock interview based on a real job posting. Despite me being nervous, his honest, supportive, and actionable feedback helped me become confident and skilled at interviewing. Thanks to his guidance on my resume, portfolio, and interview techniques, I began gaining significant traction with potential employers. Beyond our career-focused discussions, I expressed interest in advancing my Figma skills and understanding design systems. Given Jeffrey's expertise in design systems, we dedicated several sessions to skill building. He has an exceptional ability to break down complex ideas into digestible, practical knowledge. He generously walked me through his company's Figma setup, shared valuable best practices for file organization, and provided step-by-step guidance on building and maintaining design systems. The design system foundation he helped me build has been instrumental in my career growth. Now, as a designer at American Express, I lead my team's design system management and create recommendations for best practices—all built upon the principles and methodologies I learned from him! I can confidently say that my career success is largely due to Jeffrey's passion for student development and his natural ability to nurture designers.”
