Hi, I’m Ruben
I help creatives over 30 learn graphic design effectively and on a straight path.
When I was in my 30s, I had to learn graphic design from a computer at home, just like you. My designs were terrible, but I finally got to the essential rules that would get me unstuck, improve my designs exponentially, and give me the direction I needed to become an effective designer.
Today, I’ve helped hundreds of students jumpstart their careers by teaching them what matters the most in graphic design.
