UX Quest: Real-World UX Mentorship for Junior Designers
Level up your skills through a 4-week gamified challenge that ends in a portfolio-ready case study.
Junior designers don’t need another cookie-cutter course or vague encouragement.
They need real experience. Clear structure. Honest feedback. And a guide who gets what it’s like to be starting out.
UX Quest is a 4-week, hands-on mentorship program that helps early-career UX designers build confidence, sharpen skills, and walk away with a polished case study—real project, real support, real growth.
👀 Who It’s For
UX Quest is for you if:
✅ You’ve learned the basics—but still feel unclear on process
✅ You want to build something that feels real, not just pretty
✅ You’re stuck trying to turn work into a solid case study
✅ You crave practical feedback—not just “nice work!” replies
✅ You wish you had someone in your corner who gets it

💬 Meet Your Mentor
Hey, I’m Merve—product designer, systems thinker, and creative mentor.
Over the past 7+ years, I’ve worked across complex SaaS platforms, AI tools, and internal B2B systems—turning messy UX problems into smooth, intuitive experiences. But beyond the pixels and flows, I’ve mentored 100+ junior designers through ADPList, 1:1 sessions, and portfolio reviews.
And I kept seeing the same thing:
Designers don’t need more vague advice.
They need someone to show up alongside them with clarity, structure, and real support.
That’s why I built UX Quest—to give you the one thing most juniors don’t have access to:
✅ Real-world context
✅ Personalized, kind-but-honest feedback
✅ A challenge that stretches you without overwhelming you
I’m part mentor, part project manager. And I genuinely love what I do.
Whether you’re rethinking your process or trying to create work that finally clicks, I’ve got you.
Let’s build it together. 🛠️✨
