He takes a user-centric approach and is comfortable engaging with users on a regular basis to ground his work in user data and validation.

He works well in an agile environment, sprinting collaboratively with developers and is always an advocate for improving process and practice. I've had the pleasure of having Ruben on my team for a couple of years now and have always been impressed by his concepts and his pixel perfect designs.
