Hexagon is a non-profit aimed to empower and support womxn and non-binary folx in UX through community, events, and mentorship
My role was to found the Mentorship Program in 2015. A program that scaled to 12 chapters internationally. We had to pivot the model during Co-Vid to a virtual one. To date it is estimated that we have paired and helped over 5000 women.
Bay Area Hexagon UX
Myself and two other women founded the global mentorship program for Hexagon UX in May of 2015. By the summer of 2019 we had 12 chapters worldwide with another 9 chapters that held events regularly
When COVID shut down the world we had to pivot and figure out a way to help women in their careers virtually. It was a lot of work.
in May of 2023, we had six chapters of the mentorship program still going and another 5 holding events. Everyone was exhausted. The Mentorship Program needed to be revamped.
