Rafaela Silva

UX/UI Designer

Fransuel was my UX/UI design teacher from January to June ‘23. He has a vast experience in web design in all its forms, and was exactly the mentor I hoped he would be when started the bootcamp. He also encouraged us to always consider market needs when designing products. This approach served to get us ready for product design in the real world, which is often quite different from theory.
