Low Fidelity Podcast #3 Mentoring designers with a focus on the craft of design with Shujaat Syed

In the latest episode of the Low Fidelity podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with Shujaat Syed, a designer based in Toronto. Shujaat noticed very few opportunities to help out the designers from underrepresented groups so he created Super Session, a mentorship program to help them level up their skills so they can be successful in their careers. It’s a great story with lots of lessons for us all!

In our conversation we discuss:

  • The mindset needed to get through challenges we face

  • Staying true to your values as a designer

  • Why he started the Super Session mentorship program

  • How he selected the designers from underrepresented backgrounds and career paths

  • The lessons he learned from completing the first round of Super Session

  • Helping designers make intentional choices in their work and getting to the essence of the design

  • His advice to designers who want to mentor other designers

  • Why designers need to focus on honing their craft

  • The experience of moving from working at an agency to being in-house at a company

  • And much more!

Listen to the episode

You can listen and subscribe to the Low Fidelity podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.


Till next time, stay strong!
