UX Mentor with CLYMBE

(2021 : Independent)

Clymbe is a startup focusing on introducing teenagers to newly emerged career paths. They have selected 100 such professionals, who will guide the young minds in preparing them for these offbeat career paths. UX design is now an almost mainstream career, however, in contrast to the awareness in large cities, second-tier cities are unaware of this profession. Through this platform, I am hoping to help those who are seeking a career in this creative problem-solving field
