“Ruben was a fantastic mentor, he is very knowledgeable and it shows that he enjoys teaching. I wanted to learn more about Figma while completing the course and Ruben showed me a lot of features I didn’t know and gave demonstrations during our mentor calls. He gave useful feedback on all the assignments and it was great to talk about the industry.”

“Being a person who has been self-motivated for many years, I had doubts that I would be able to find a mentor who could push me in the ways I needed. Throughout my journey at UX Academy, Ruben exceeded all my expectations and was a game-changer. Over the five months we worked together, he helped me take my UX/UI skillset from proficient to excellent. Ruben was patient, offered clear and constructive criticism, helped me to define and communicate my design decisions clearly, and pushed me to the next level. Anyone who works with him is fortunate and will undoubtedly enjoy the warmth and vast knowledge he brings to the table. I recommend Ruben to anyone looking to become an exceptional UX/UI designer.”
