A dedicated platform for mentorship.
Mentor connects aspiring creatives with verified professionals for 1-to-1 sessions. Quality mentorship in creative fields is hard to find: coaching is expensive, industry-specific guidance is rare, and there's no trusted place to see who's worth learning from. Until now, designers and digital creators have relied on cold LinkedIn messages, costly coaching or luck. Mentor is a curated marketplace built to change that.
Mentor had to serve two distinct user types
Seeking direction
Aspiring creatives who can't find affordable, quality guidance.
Offering their time
Professionals who have no easy way to share their expertise.
Three steps to a relational platform.
Review
Competing platformsMost platforms treat mentorship as a transaction: book a call, move on.
Interview
Both sides of the match- Mentors feared overcommitment.
- Mentees didn't know who to choose.
Design for reassurance
Something more relationalMake the first step feel safe and small.
Fresh, energetic and human.
A green/white palette feels fresh without being chaotic, while clean typography and generous whitespace build trust. The goal: premium enough to attract top mentors, welcoming enough for first-time mentees to take the leap.
Logo
An M built from three shapes: mentor, mentee and the link between. Soft and rounded, so first-timers feel welcome. Clear even at small sizes.
Building trust
Users need confidence before committing. Verified credentials, ratings, reviews and detailed profiles establish credibility at a glance.
