19.October 2024I wanted to share my incredible experience with Iuliia Nemudrova as a mentor. As a product manager from Kazakhstan working on digital projects in retail, I recently sought her expertise for a crucial evaluation of my team's automotive hydrogen startup project before submitting it to an international digital product design competition. Iuliia's review went above and beyond my expectations. Her deep expertise in digital product development shone through in every aspect of her analysis. She provided a comprehensive, unbiased evaluation that was both encouraging and constructively critical. What impressed me most was her ability to quickly grasp our project's complex technical aspects and provide actionable insights that could truly elevate our work. Her feedback was exceptionally well-structured, highlighting both our strengths (innovative approach to hydrogen technology visualization, user-centric interface) and areas for improvement (data visualization refinement, user flow optimization). Each point was accompanied by practical recommendations that were clearly rooted in her extensive industry experience. I particularly appreciate Iulia's direct and honest communication style. She wasn't just pointing out what improvement was needed – she took the time to explain why certain changes would enhance our project's impact and user experience. Her suggestions for improving our information architecture and interaction design were especially valuable. Furthermore, her willingness to provide a formal recommendation for our competition entry demonstrates her sincere commitment to supporting emerging projects and professionals in our field. Thanks to her insightful feedback and guidance, I feel confident that our project will stand out in the international competition. Iuliia is truly a gem in the digital product development community. Her mentorship has not only improved our project but has also enhanced my professional growth. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert guidance in digital product development.

17.October 2024Amazing Mentoring Session! Time spent: 1 hour Worth it? Absolutely YES! Result: 2 interviews lined up and counting! I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible mentoring session I had with Iuliia. As someone who recently relocated from Bulgaria to California, I was feeling overwhelmed by the tech industry's job market here, but this session completely transformed my perspective and approach. Her deep understanding of both the local tech ecosystem and the unique challenges faced by international professionals made her the perfect mentor for my situation. What impressed me most was her approach to career guidance. She didn't just give generic advice but created a detailed roadmap specifically tailored to my background in UI/UX design. The most amazing part? Within just couple weeks of following her advice, I've already secured interviews with two startups! Her guidance on adapting my resume and portfolio to American standards, plus her recommendations for specific job boards and networking events, made all the difference. Her genuine desire to help make her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to break into the US tech scene. Thank you, Iuliia!
