Mentorship Beyond Borders
Since 2021, I’ve been helping designers break into the tech field and adapt to global markets. No lectures, no formalities — just sharing what I’ve learned and guiding you step by step.
The program is free because I believe in mutual support. Starting fresh in a new market can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s make the transition easier, together.
Who Is This Mentorship For?
This mentorship is for designers at the middle+ level who are ready to take the next step in their careers. It’s for those who dream of working in international companies, increasing their income, and adapting to new markets after relocating.
It’s also for those who believe in creating design that matters — products that make a real difference in the world. If you’re passionate about spreading good design and shaping solutions that help people, this program is for you.

Testimonials
“Danila helped me understand my true market value and prepare for negotiations. When I reached out in November 2021 as a Junior Product Designer, I was exploring options for relocation and needed a clear strategy. By April 2022, I had increased my salary 3x, and by late 2023, after consistent performance reviews, I achieved a 4x increase, transitioning into the blockchain field and working internationally.”
Senior Product Designer at TON
“Danila guided me from being an intern in big tech to landing a role in an American startup. In November 2021, I set my sights on joining a dynamic startup abroad. By June 2022, I had secured the job, relocated to France as a recognized talent, and started a new chapter in my career.”
Product Designer at Amo (ex Zenly)
“Danila revamped my resume and portfolio during a tough period when I was out of work for six months. With his guidance and ongoing support, I secured a role at Skl.vc in September 2024, following the training program, and doubled my salary in the process.”
Lead Product Designer at Skl.vc
“Danila helped me realize my true value and set higher salary expectations. When I reached out in November 2022 as an undervalued freelancer, I wanted to break out of the local market and find a stable role. By January 2024, I had joined a major Mexico-Spain fintech company with a stable income and a salary that grew 4x.”
