Creative Mentoring That Builds Confidence
Turn what you love making into real skills and finished work.
Built Around What You’re Into
Make Mode provides one-to-one creative mentoring for young people and adults from age 15, based in Melbourne and available online across Australia. Sessions are built around each person's interests, goals and pace, privately or through the NDIS.
Who It's For:
Private Mentoring
For creatively minded young people and adults from age 15 who want support building confidence, creative skills, personal projects, direction and growth.
Sessions are adapted around each person’s interests, goals, strengths and pace, whether they’re a beginner, hobbyist or emerging creative.
NDIS Supported Mentoring
For self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants from age 15 who want support building confidence, routine, communication, independence and social connection.
Sessions use art, digital creativity, gaming and project development to support each participant’s goals, interests and practical growth.
Start With What You’re Into
Whether it’s drawing, gaming, characters, design or digital worlds, sessions begin with genuine interests and build from there. See what we could create together →
