Why Mentoring
Why Mentoring
Why Mentoring
I’ve always been fascinated by how we learn—how someone can start from zero and, with time, turn that into mastery. My background in both academic and non-academic teaching shaped the way I think, not just as a designer, but as someone who values growth, clarity, and the process behind both.
That’s why mentorship matters to me. I know how it feels to figure things out alone, and I try to be the person I once needed—a sounding board, a guide, and sometimes just someone to remind you that you’re not lost. If I can be a small part of someone’s learning path, that’s more than worth it.

It was an insightful session! He was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also approachable, patient, and willing to listen to my concerns and questions.

Designer @ Confidential/Riyadh
I had the opportunity to participate in six useful interactive UI/UX sessions with Islam. His extensive experience and skilled responses contributed greatly to my knowledge and skills. The discussions covered various design topics, and the interactive nature of the sessions enhanced my understanding. During the sessions, I was working on a design project, and I received valuable advice and guidance from Islam, which greatly benefited my overall educational experience.

It was my pleasure talking with Islam, EVERY SINGLE TIME. He is so patient and supportive. We covered portfolio, whiteboard, interview skills, and career development. My portfolio was at a different level after the mentorship and helped me get interviews. Cannot appreciate more for his support and mentorship!

Just like a masterful mentor who knows when to say and what to say, the tasks he makes to you, and the ideal timing for them. When I am looking forward to a step, his focus extends ten steps ahead. During sessions with him, you can just play a follower and shed the robe of Ego, as every moment brings new learning and deeep insights♟️🏹.

That Sticks
I work with designers who are figuring things out—whether it’s a project, a portfolio, or what’s next. It’s about clarity, growth, and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
