ERIC CHIA

Design with Purpose.

For over two decades, I’ve mentored emerging designers and creatives — from students and interns to early-career designers — helping them sharpen their thinking, elevate their portfolios, and build confidence through real-world design thinking.

This isn’t a course. There are no modules or lectures. It’s direct, honest, and collaborative — rooted in creative mentorship shaped by experience leading global brands and multidisciplinary teams.

Most of my mentoring is one-on-one, often when someone reaches out. Together, we’ll define where you want to go and what’s standing in the way — whether that’s creative clarity, portfolio development, or transitioning into the industry.

We work together on:

• Clarity and critique on your work and direction.

• Portfolio and storytelling support for real impact.

• Working sessions to prototype, present, and iterate together using different collaborative design tools like Figma and Adobe.

• Industry preparation — from interview feedback to freelance vs. agency pathways.

Also there are opportunities to have an internship with me where you’ll be working on live projects — collaborating with clients, developers, strategists, and other creatives. This is a great opportunity to build your portfolio whilst solving business problems creatively.
