“I recently had the pleasure of having Veronica as my mentor during Designlabs Academy Foundations. Seeing as this was my introduction to UI/UX design, Veronica took the time to understand my unique goals, strengths, and areas for growth. She made sure to check in with me often about her approach to mentorship and encouraged feedback. She continuously challenged my processes and provided adequate solutions and resources to foster my continued growth as a designer. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Veronica and would recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and inspiration as a designer!”

“Veronica helped me every week to master each challenge that I faced in the UX foundations course. I had no previous knowledge or experience of Figma or UX/UI design. In our mentor sessions, Veronica was very compassionate and kind while she challenged me to push for greater designs. She always showed me features on Figma to improve my skills. I learned a lot from our one-on-one sessions and was able to enhance my design skills throughout the UX Foundations course. I hope to have a mentor like Veronica when I begin UX Academy.”

Veronica has been extremely knowledgeable and supportive mentor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance in the field of Design.”

“Without prior design experience, my mentor Veronica showed me that it was possible to learn UX and successfully guided me through UX Academy. She was insightful in helping me with understanding research methods and when to use them. Veronica also challenged me with questions and feedback about my designs and the processes (“why did you do this? That?.... what did you learn?... how did this help your research?”) It was a pleasant experience to learn from someone who was not only knowledgeable but engaging and personable. She also helped me realize that I was able to apply skills that I have learned from previous work experience into this field. I am very thankful for her mentorship.”

I appreciated that in the mentor 1:1 sessions she took the time to explain her feedback and provide actionable suggestions for improvement. Overall, Veronica increased my enjoyment and the value of the course. I wouldn't have learned as much without her thoughtful guidance. I'm happy to have had her as my mentor!”
