“Abeer is without a doubt among the most talented UX designer leaders I have hired and had the pleasure to partner with. The leadership, passion, pride, and energy he brings is contagious. On day one, Abeer hit the ground running and within just a short amount of time he completely redesigned our homepage, launched a new marketplace, and simplified complex project management workflows. The positive feedback from our users and increased post launch engagement metrics were a proven testament to his hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend Abeer to lead any design team.”

“As a leader on our product team, Abeer was never afraid to go against the grain, ask the difficult questions and push back if necessary. Besides all this, Abeer pushed me to learn skills outside of my role and always encouraged me to attend events to support my research goal.”

"I had the great fortune to work with Abeer at Ready Set Rocket, where I led the engineering team and he was my counterpart on the creative team. He is a talented creative mind and design systems thinker. He is an excellent communicator and his amiable nature means that he is able to establish great relationships with others on his team, he makes an excellent creative leader. I'd strongly recommend Abeer for future roles, and would jump at the chance to work with him again in the future."

"Abeer brings grace, elegance, and - dare I say - whimsy to his designs. Interactions are not only intuitive, but fun! That's a pretty incredible thing to say about business software. I remember seeing Abeer's portfolio and praying that we could land him for our company and what a joy it has been. He brings 3 things to the table that I actively try to emulate: a great sense of humor, an obvious passion for his work, and a spirit of excellence in all that he does. As an engineer, I love bringing his work to life and I hope we get to be on the same team again."
