I had the privilege of working with Josue on a landing page design project and it was exactly that: a privilege.

There's a lot that can be said about him, among all, he's very receptive, has outstanding design fundamentals, notices and fixes every detail and gives vast recommendations for the present and upcoming work.

However, his skills and knowledge go beyond the design project: I have asked him about web development, career growth and SEO and he always gives helpful insights.

We both studied the same career and I always thought of him as the best student. Now, I think of him as the best asset you can have in your team, he's never going to stop growing.

With a person like Josue, you can't go wrong.
