Testimonials
Hear from designers who have achieved their UX goals with my mentorship!
“As someone who has been looking for guidance within my career journey, I could not have come across anyone who is as encouraging and thoughtful as Alex! He takes a genuine interest in you and your career aspirations while making you feel at ease with the uncertainty of the future. At one point in my job hunt, I was conflicted with how to approach an offer with the recruiter/HR of the company and Alex went out of his way to not only answer my questions, but he went ahead and talked to his own HR and a few other professionals on how they would handle the it. I have gone through my fair share of paths to get to where I am now and could not have done it without Alex! Thank you again!”

“I had the pleasure of being mentored by Alex while pursuing a career change into the world of UXUI design. Alex always had encouraging words about my work, as well as great constructive feedback. He was able to use his experiences to open my eyes to opportunities I hadn’t even considered to make my work the best it can be and take that knowledge forward to future projects as a best practice. He has continued to be available for any questions and has offered opportunities for connections and I appreciate him so much. Thanks for all your help, Alex!”
