“Rob was super constructive and patient! Throughout our conversation, Rob demonstrated a deep understanding of the UX industry and offered insightful guidance on how to be a good UX designer as well as a freelancer. He was more than willing to share and answered a ton of my questions, providing me with valuable insights from his experiences. Now I have a clearer idea of what to do next.”

“I recently had a session with Rob and I have to say it was a great experience. From the beginning of the call, Rob put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. He was really empathic and understood the challenges I was facing. We discussed freelancing and he shared some really interesting tips and tricks based on his own experience. Overall, I would definitely book another session with Rob.”

“I had a great session with Rob - I was at the 3rd or 4th stage of an interview for a UXR position. Rob helped me understand what a crossfunctional team might be looking for. I got the job. My first foray into industry from academic research.”
