AA is the finest digital designer I have had the pleasure of working with. Through his imagination and creativity, he has the ability to bring any project to life. A perfectionist, every step, from the initial brief to the end product, the client knows that they will receive his utmost attention.

Anwar is a former work colleague and business partner. His ability to produce large volumes of high-quality design is remarkable. I have worked with few designers who are as low-maintenance as he is. He is an ability to quickly interpret customer input and deliver quality results-oriented marketing. He also possesses excellent project management and organization skills. If that were not enough, he is one of the most technically savvy people I know... and I know quite a few. I would definitely work with Anwar again and always look for opportunities to get him involved in my projects when it makes sense.
