Words from
former colleagues & clients
R e f e r e n c e s
Martin Copus
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.
Tariq Saedah
In the field of graphic design, Anwar has all the bases covered. On the creative side he learns and understands his client's needs and then delivers design that is fresh and well-conceived. He stays abreast of the latest technologies and utilizes them to increase his productive capabilities. He shares his experience and knowledge with his co-workers, creating strong staff support around him. Most importantly he builds a trust with the client. They know that when they work with Anwar , or the company he represents, the job will get done right. Anwar would be an asset to any organization.
Byron Alba
I have worked with Anwar for over nine years. In addition to superior design and technology skills, Anwar brings a level of professionalism that is hard to match—he delivers peace of mind to clients and supervisors alike. Over the years and through a wide range of projects, Anwar has met every challenge face on to create sharp, contemporary designs and to manage and complete small and large published products.
