You have an abnormal talent for not being boring, but also not being over the top. Thanks for the info.

I just need to tell you that your story is very motivational and inspiring. An exemplary representative of discipline and professional work.
I definitely would love to see all your previous and upcoming videos.

I just discovered your channel less than an hour ago and i have watched at least 2 videos at a go, i couldn't stop. They are very insightful. I hope to have a similar experience with the course.

Super inspiring video. Not sure I’m ready to start a biz yet, but sales calls are my jam and I’m a natural fit for solving “people-problems “, so I will give it a whirl. Thanks!

[ultmage]

Love your videos and it’s production! I’m a fan of your content and I’m certain that UX/UI design may be essential field for me to dive into. Especially for future startups or a business of my own.

I must have seen numerous journeys to success...but I gotta say none had such a apt background score like this! Just changed the whole experience.

"God was with me guiding my path". Love that. Thanks for sharing your story, Andres. Inspiring!

[lovingbritt]

Omg your faith and determination inspired me! I just finished my CS degree and want to get into UX design. I'm taking a Google Cert for it. I hope to be successful once I finish. I hope you continue to be successful.

I sent this as an email after signing up for your course, but I feel compelled to post this here;

Hi Andres,

I want to start by thanking you for putting out all the information you put out. Your video, “How I broke into UX design, ” is exactly what I was looking for this morning. I have no experience yet and I’m still finding my footing in this very interesting field, but it helps knowing that someone was where I’m currently at and became successful as quickly as he (you) did. I don’t yet know how to start a project, let alone a portfolio, but hearing about your persistence and consistency is so encouraging to me.

Secondly, your belief in God is something that inspires me. That someone who has the same faith as I do is using principles from the bible to be excellent at what he does is awesome.

I believe that at the end of this opportunity, I’ll come out of this a much more knowledge and experience than I bargain for. Once again, thank you for being a vessel.

I look forward to learning all I can from you.

The intro of this video is a piece of art, is like the beginning of a movie, the natural expression of the face, the movements, the voice, lights., .everything. Congratutalions.
