V.0 welcomes creative professionals from across creative disciplines; graphic design, illustration, UI/UX, strategy/research, copywriting, animation, and multidisciplinary practitioners. We are committed to providing mentorship to design students, emerging designers, and seasoned professionals.
The program involves a three-month, one-on-one mentoring engagement; pairing designers to share insights and experiences. It’s a great way to make new connections and exchange ideas and inspirations.
This program is both in-person and virtual. If a mentor/mentee do not live close enough to each other, they are able to meet virtually. If they are able to meet in person, they are welcome to meet in person for coffee, a trip to the ICA Boston, or a game! Most of our mentors historically have been located in the New England area, but if you live outside this area, you’re welcome to participate.
Active professionals–employed or retired–in the field of graphic design, communications, advertising, illustration, visual arts, product design, user interface or user experience with 5+ years of relevant experience.
Mentees
Designers at any stage of their career and students in their 2nd, 3rd or 4th year of an undergraduate program study, or any year of graduate school may apply.
