"Raphael is amazing. Excellent as UI/UX Designer and is absolutely outstanding in his ability to deliver polished work, wireframes or final design, with minimum guidance once direction is set and key agreement achieved on goal to be accomplished.
UX designer was my key hire which took over a year to fill and I had to turn down over a hundred highly qualified candidates to be lucky and persistent enough to eventually find Raphael.
One good example of speed and quality of Raphael's work is Credit Score product that we designed and launched in just one quarter while companies typically spend tens of millions of dollars and long time to launch minimum product. It is especially important to note that TransUnion, key partner to deliver Credit Score feature, called Raphael's work probably the best implementation of Credit product they've ever seen.
I treasure my time and experiences working with Raphael and highly recommend him for highly challenging projects."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Raphael during the last year on several different projects which we've taken from concept to launch.
Raphael has proven himself to be a great design partner, talented in both UX and UI design. He is skilled at using a rapid prototyping, including creating paper prototypes, developing wireframes and InVision prototypes, and designing questions and surveys to uncover insights from users either in-person or online. He is comfortable with taking fuzzy user journeys and giving them shape, and is also great at identifying relevant examples of meaningful interactions or designs from other fields which can be applied to enhance a concept within health. I've never shipped a feature in which users did not remark about the beauty of the end product when Raphael was the designer.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with Raphael on future projects."

I currently have the pleasure of managing Raphael as a Sr Designer for our team. Raphael is a very thoughtful, curious and thorough designer. As the lead designer for digital health coaching, Raphael is able to spread his wings and truly shine as a designer. I can rely on Raphael on all phases of the product cycle as he is able to see the bigger picture. Raphael is truly a full stack designer that carefully researches and thinks through each decision he makes from ideation, UX flows and pixel execution.
