Creating aesthetic and delightful experiences through human-centric design

“Working with Ayman has been the most delightful collaboration experience I've had with a designer. His specs are more beautiful than most app UI's. The level of detail and care he puts into the work is top notch. Our collaboration process is effortless as he is able to understand engineering constraints while maintaining the product vision.”

“It's been an absolute pleasure working with Ayman as one of our main designers on Apple Education products. He very quickly got up to speed, and was the design lead for several significant features. He also built a great framework for delivering design specs and updates, and had a great working relationship with our engineers. Anyone will be lucky to have Ayman on their team!”

“Sometimes I wonder if Ayman was a designer in a previous life. Working with the Schoolwork Team was his first full time gig as a product designer — and yet — he took on the workload of someone who's worked as a designer for years. For instance, Ayman and I worked to bring polished work to resolution week over week with engineering on previously shipped features as well as current design work. We worked together to establish an effective product copy process that involved engineering, product, and design. He was instrumental in our design QA process, was the only dedicated designer cranking out design production assets as well as all of our team's design documentation for engineering implementation, and owned the end-to-end user experience and design for three major features. In short, Ayman added tremendous value to the team through his dedication to effective processes, deep thinking around design and user problems — as well as his acute attention to detail. He's an asset to any visual production or product design team and I would be lucky to work with him again.”

“As the Product Marketing Manager for Education Software, I have worked closely with Ayman for the past year developing the roadmap and features for Schoolwork, a tool teachers can use to assign virtually anything to their students. Our target customers are have a very unique set of needs and use cases which requires domain expertise and deep understanding of the K-12 public education space. In this respect, Ayman was able to quickly ramp up and ensured that he not only understood a feature's current or new functionality, but prioritized understanding the user and their problems that needed to be solved through research and collaboration with domain experts. By spending time in the problem space, he was able to quickly design simple and elegant solutions to complex and complicated workflows. Additionally, he is able to leverage and balance Apple's existing design language and conventions with new, product-specific needs to ensure that users have a consistent experience with the rest of the Apple ecosystem. He is an open communicator, receptive to critical feedback, and thrives in taking on new challenges, and his impact has had a tangible and positive impact on teachers and students.”

“Ayman is the true definition of a team player. His willingness to assist and positive mentality has propelled him to heights I always knew he could achieve. He's now a leader, one who leads by example, passion, and expertise. I had the opportunity to work alongside Ayman for 2 years at the Ryerson Marketing Association.
