What mentees say about their experience
Authentic stories and honest reflections from the people I’ve mentored.
It was a great meet and greet with Cate! She was generously insightful and has valuable knowledge that I'm excited to tap in to.
Jordan Crabtree 🇺🇸
Product Designer
Working with Cate was genuinely such a meaningful experience. She never expected perfection. She listened, encouraged, and met me with so much understanding, even when things felt unclear. There were moments when I felt stuck, but Cate helped me move through them with clarity and confidence. She made the whole journey feel doable, even empowering. Thanks to her support, I landed my dream role as a UX content designer, and my interview prep with her really impressed my future employers!

Cate was very supportive throughout my sessions, offering clear guidance and valuable insights that helped me feel well-prepared for upcoming interviews! She also took extra time to review my resume and provided insightful feedback and constructive tips :-)

Cate was incredible. She listened closely to what I needed, offered thoughtful guidance, and brought deep expertise in both UX/UI and portfolio strategy. It was clear right away that she’s not only an expert in her field but also genuinely supportive and generous with her insight. I left the session feeling encouraged, clear, and excited about the road ahead. I’m truly grateful for our initial meeting and believe she’ll be a key mentor as I transition into UX/UI and land my next role.

WOW! Absolutely amazing!!!!! Cate is by far the best designer I've ever met. Her skillset, passion, attention to detail, how to be efficient, how to scale efforts, and how much she cares about adding value, are beyond anything I have seen from any other coach. If you are looking to level up your design skills Cate is one of the best on the planet!!!

To add on to my previous review: I can't recommend Cate enough! Incredible feedback and support throughout every session we had together. I purchased the resume+portfolio package at $150 and feel like it was a worthy investment that I received immense value from. If you are hesitating to book Cate you should probably stop doing that and just add to cart/book, you won't regret it. I will be booking Cate again after I finish the to-do list she gave me 🤣
