Design mentorship for designers, by Hamza. See plans or book a free call.
I help you get better at your work and move forward in your career.
We work through the actual problems in front of you: your designs, portfolio, interviews, career decisions, or whatever you are trying to figure out.
You leave with clearer thinking, stronger work, and a stronger case for the roles you want.
About
I am Hamza. I am a founding design engineer with 5 years of experience building products for early-stage startups and scale-ups.
For the past 5 years, I have worked closely with founders and product teams to define, design, and build software, from first releases to products used across more than 750 factories worldwide.
I have worked across manufacturing, AI, and B2B SaaS, often as the person bridging product, design, and engineering to turn ideas into working products.
Designers often come to me for a second perspective on their work, portfolios, interviews, or next career move. This is where I bring that experience together: practical feedback from someone who has been in the work.
What we can work on
- Turn work you are unsure about into work you are confident presenting
- Make better product decisions when the problem is not obvious
- Make your portfolio communicate the quality of your work
- Walk into your next interview knowing how to tell your story
- Become better at explaining and defending your decisions
- Understand what is actually holding you back from your next level
- Make the transition from product design to design engineering
We will look at your actual work, figure out what you are stuck on, and work through it together.
Plans
Monthly. Q&A in a shared Slack channel is included on every plan. Cancel anytime.
Kind words
I had the opportunity to work with Hamza to review my portfolio. With his background, experience, and keen attention to detail, I received comprehensive feedback on how to improve and distinguish myself as a product designer. He is amazing, and I highly recommend him as a design mentor.
How it works

- Get to work Book calls when you need them. Send questions, work, or ideas in Slack between calls. Get feedback when you need it.
Questions
- What happens on the intro call? 30 minutes. You show me your work, I give you direct feedback, and we figure out where I can help. If you decide to join, you get access to Slack and we start working together.
- Can I cancel? Yes. It is month to month, and you can cancel anytime.
- What if I do not like it? Try it for a month. If it is not useful, I will give you your money back.
- How fast do you reply? Usually within a day, Monday to Friday. You will have a shared Slack channel to send questions, work, or ideas as they come up.
- Is this for beginners? Yes. Experience does not matter. Bring something real you want to get better at.
- What do I need to bring? Nothing special. Bring whatever you are working on, a design, portfolio, CV, interview, or career decision.
