A free, small-cohort mentorship designed to help aspiring UX/UI designers in Bolivia transition from learning UX to becoming employable in the real job market.

Max. 5 people per cohort

3/4 weeks duration

100% Free

Why this mentorship exists

Over the last years working on real digital products, I've seen a recurring gap between learning UX/UI and working as a UX/UI designer.

Many juniors know the theory, tools, and trends—but struggle with:

  • Applying UX processes under real constraints
  • Building portfolios that reflect thinking, not just visuals
  • Understanding how UX actually works inside teams and businesses

This mentorship exists to shorten that gap.

Who this mentorship is for

This is for you if you..

  • Have 0–12 months of experience in UX/UI.
  • Are actively learning UX/UI (self-taught, bootcamp, university).
  • Want to work in the UX/UI labor market, not just study design.
  • Are based in Bolivia (initial cohorts).
  • Can commit time and effort during the program.

This is NOT for…

  • Mid or senior designers
  • People focused only on visual/UI aesthetics
  • Those looking for shortcuts or guarantees
  • Anyone unable to commit consistently

What you will learn

This mentorship does not focus on tools or trends. It focuses on capabilities.

Understanding how UX work actually happens in real products.

Applying UX processes with time, budget, and access constraints.
