salary increase

When I began my UX journey, I lacked resources and structure—until Uxcel. It gave me the tools and support to grow fast as a designer. I transitioned from a local to an international role and saw a 150% salary increase. Most importantly, I became someone who can now mentor and uplift others, thanks to what I learned through Uxcel

Elene Chekurishvili

UX Designer

The best online learning platform. I was amazed when I used this platform for the first time. The traditional e-learning platforms are tedious and boring with too much redundant information.

This platform is fun, direct to the point, and full of benefits that I couldn't mention all of them.

I started Uxcel in late 2022 when I needed a job. I completed lessons, earned a certificate, and landed my first UX role shortly after. I now feel confident listing it on my resume and see a clear path for career growth. I am confident adding Uxcel to my resume made a difference. It helped me get my first UI/UX job. As I kept learning, I moved up quickly. My second job came with a 50% pay raise.
