I had the privilege of working under Jaco for four years, during which time he played a pivotal role in my professional and personal growth. He is deeply knowledgeable, passionate about what he does, and always generous with his insights. What truly sets Jaco apart is his ability to listen attentively and respectfully to your ideas, while gently guiding you in the right direction with humility and care. He genuinely invests in the growth of those he mentors and is committed to helping you reach your full potential. These qualities make him not only a remarkable leader, but also a trustworthy and inspiring tutor.

I had the privilege of working under Jaco's tutelage during my internship as a UX/UI designer at Sand Dollar Design from September to December 2024. This was a remote internship I completed alongside my final year of studies.

From the outset, Jaco was incredibly accommodating, patient, friendly, and encouraging. He was always willing to offer guidance, suggestions, and constructive feedback. In a time where industries and technology are evolving faster than ever, Jaco's expertise in UX and UI at all levels, from newcomers to seasoned professionals, ensures that your work stays grounded in solving real user problems and remains aligned with best practice.
