Looking for an UX design mentor: Lauren's career change at 36
Lauren, a taxi driver, is retraining for UX design and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over six months.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 16 years, and I'm 36. After the factory closing, I decided to move into UX design, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in England, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 45 minutes a month
