Sarah Dunn

“Sarah was the perfect mentor for me! She is fantastic at balancing empathetic motivation and compassionate encouragement with the integral, precise feedback needed for growth. To a new designer facing incessant imposter syndrome, Sarah consistently inspired me: naming my strengths and coaching me through my weak spots. She saw my potential and masterfully helped instill confidence and a growth mindset essential to my pivot into this field.”

“Sarah is an extremely talented mentor and experienced designer. We set up my goals at our first meeting and what type of feedback works for me. That open communication at the beginning set the tone for our mentorship. Sarah continually pushed me to be better without overwhelming me. She realized where my strengths were and helped me dig deeper into those skills. She leaned into my design choices where they worked and encouraged me to go further with them, and had me pull back where they didn’t. Because of Sarah’s skilled mentorship, I ended Designlab with an impressive portfolio and job offer. I would love to recommend Sarah to anyone searching for a UI/UX design mentorship.”

“Sarah is a very good teacher. Very positive and giving nice comments. But she wasn't quite flexible in our meeting timings. And for some reason, she didn't approve all my projects. Which definitely affected my UX Academy application.”
