Blog 7 - Second Interview Preparation

 

1.  Who is your mentor and where do they work?  If their workplace does not reflect their expertise, what makes them an expert? 

 

My mentor is Sam Hernandez and he works for the Walt Disney Company as a Interaction Designer. He's barely started working there this year. Before, he worked at Warner Brothers Studio for 6 years. He's had  a lot of experience in the graphic design field, but has recently directed his focus into Interaction Design. He still does side jobs with other companies, but his main employer is The Walt Disney Company. His website his http://idsgns.com if you are interested in looking more into his work.
I think his workplace definitely reflects his expertise and makes him an expert because not any random person would be hired by big companies like Warner Bros Studios and The Walt Disney Company.

2. What is the most challenging project you've had?
