When I discovered jQuery a few years ago I was amazed and thrilled by possibilities. Now I use and write it every day.

Roman is amazingly talented and a seasoned designer. He really helped me and appreciate his skills. I love Codementor for giving me access for a quick mentoring with a professional. The other advantage of having Roman work with you is he understand front end development so knows what the developer needs. Thank you Roman :)

Roman provided numerous insights into design systems and provided feedback into some of the issues that I faced when building figma components. Roman has been invaluable in speeding up my learning curve. Highly recommended!

He was just at the right level for me. I had basic knowledge of how to use figma but needed to understand the overview of how to set things up for professional use. He covered the following areas in 1 hour: (1) Easy short cuts, auto layout etc to be more productive. (2) Explored components in some detail. (3) Touched upon design systems. This were just the right blend of topics for me. He clearly knows the subject and can explain things well.
