Without Michal I would be working my customer support job with no dreams and purpose because I just felt actually getting a design job would be so hard. He makes it seem attainable as long as you do the work which isn't that hard. Now, I'm still working my support job, but I have put together work and am continually working. I was turned down by my current job for a UX position, but I will find another. Thank you, Michal.
