Looking for an UX design mentor: Waweru's career change at 49
Waweru, a security guard, is retraining for UX design and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over six months.

I have worked as a security guard for 13 years, and I'm 49. After a health scare, I decided to move into UX design, and I have completed a part-time diploma.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Nairobi, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
