Go to networking events - virtually of course during a time like this. Expose yourself and meet people. Be genuine and get to know others. When you find someone you admire, build that relationship. It's a give and take - you have to also offer value in return for them to reciprocate. A lot of the time, the mentor/mentee relationship develops naturally over time.

There are actual networking circles that you can join and you will be matched up with a mentor. So if you prefer that method, you just need to join the appropriate group.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
