Bryan Brunot | Product Designer

LinkedIn shows the outcome, not the path. I designed a mentorship system to connect people based on intent and actually support growth.

ROLE

People already use LinkedIn to learn from others, but it’s unstructured and inconsistent. There’s no clear way to find the right mentor or build toward real goals.

CURRENT STATE

Mentorship happens through scattered messages and connections, with no continuity between interactions.

APPROACH

Introduce a structured mentorship system that connects users through shared goals and supports ongoing progress.

INSIGHT

The issue isn’t access, it’s the lack of structure to turn conversations into real growth.

Core System

The system is designed to stay low friction upfront, allowing users to connect first, then introduce structure as the relationship develops.

MENTOR PROFILES

Profiles add context and intent, making it easier to reach out to the right person and start a meaningful conversation.

"OFFICE HOURS" SCHEDULING

Built around real availability, reducing coordination overhead and making it easier to establish consistent mentorship.

Outcome

The system fits naturally into how people already use LinkedIn — adding structure to mentorship that was previously informal.

It enables users to build long-term mentorship relationships, set goals, and track progress over time.

Mentors can offer more targeted guidance, while mentees have a clearer path toward growth with the right support and resources in place.

Instead of one-off conversations, it creates a foundation for ongoing mentorship.
