Andrew Garcia
UX Designer @Pepsico
“I spent most of my adult life in construction management. That part of my journey gave me so much, but it was time for a change. Avocademy sets you up for success. Everyone who has committed to this journey is doing something incredible. It is all possible; it’s all attainable; I’m just another example, and soon, you’ll be one too.”
Marin Williams
UX Designer @Updox
“I needed a way to learn UX/ UI Design while balancing a full time job in a labor intensive classroom, and being a new parent. Avocademy is a perfect blend of independent learning and consistent mentorship, and by the end of the course I was talking to design mentors 4x a week."
