Testimonials

  • Amira was great! She gave me really honest and practical feedback on what would actually move the needle in my favor when navigating the tough job market for junior designers. She was also incredibly encouraging and helped me better understand where I should focus my time and energy to stand out. I left our session with a much clearer idea of what I needed to work on and what steps to take next. I really appreciated how supportive, genuine, and straightforward she was!

  • It was a really good session, it made me re-think of the ways I see some of the though process I have. Filled with activities, made it more practical and engaging.

  • I highly recommend Amira! The Imposter Syndrome Workshop was a fantastic session. Being able to share and hear that what I'm feeling I'm not alone in and felt that community was there beside me to help feel more capable. There were great exercises during and strong resources given to work through after.
