Join me on the Sweet September Mentorship Journey 🚀
Sweet September is a global mentorship initiative led by Sayed Abdelaal, built to help early-career UX/UI designers (1–3 years of experience) grow their practical skills, strengthen their professional presence, and gain real-world confidence.
Whether you’re a junior designer or a growth seeker, the Sweet September Mentorship Program is designed to give you the skills, confidence, and community you need to thrive in UX.
Over four weeks, from September 1–28, 2026, you’ll get:
🎯 Weekly group workshops on UX storytelling, presenting, and problem-solving
🎯 Resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio audits
🎯 Hands-on workshops and real-world design challenges to sharpen your process through practical work
🎯 1:1 mentorship every other week, tailored to your goals
🎯 A stage, you WILL present your work to the cohort. That’s the point.
🎯 A few extra activities 😉
Who it’s for:
Early-career UX/UI/Product Designers with roughly one to three years of experience, as well as growth seekers ready to invest one month in their craft, portfolio, and confidence.
What it costs:
The fee is commitment: around four to six hours a week, showing up, and supporting your cohort.
📅 Program: September 1–28, 2026
📍 Location: Remote and global
⏳ Applications close: August 25, 2026
Motivation matters more than years of experience, and every application is read personally.
Let’s make September your sweetest month for growth, confidence, and career progress. 💛🚀
