Leandro totally helped me level up my portfolio and case studies! He wasn’t just giving generic advice, he had awesome suggestions on things like tracking how people interact with my portfolio, the perfect balance of text and visuals on slides, and even using videos to bring my projects to life. I also discovered we live in the same city – fancy that! Thanks to Leandro’s mentorship, I have solid guidance on how to best revise it. Don’t wait, Leandro is a must-book mentor!

I enthusiastically recommend Leandro without a doubt.

Leandro is an amazing mentor and an even better person! Not only is he’s extremely knowledgeable in the design field but his passion for helping others really shines through. I also love how he encourages you to embrace your background in order to stand out from the crowd. We also talked about the Importance of communication within a team and being a creative problem solver. Im looking forward to being among the first to sign up for his classes when he decides to become a Professor!

Leandro was really incredible to connect with. He is passionate, honest, a captivating storyteller, and offers incredible perspective on all things design. His philosophy around design as a way to answer the question “How do you make them feel?” was thought-provoking, and I left our conversation feeling inspired and lighter.
