I had the pleasure of working with Bejan on a mobile app project at Toyota where he served as a UX/UI Designer. His calm and pragmatic approach to problem-solving were instrumental in the success of our project. Bejan's attention to detail is second to none. He consistently delivered designs that were not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and intuitive at an incredible pace. His expertise in design systems was evident in the cohesive and consistent look and feel of the app.

Having worked with many senior designers, Bejan stands out as he is able to deliver quality product design at speed. As a product and service design lead respectively, we collaborated at Toyota Connected on integrating loyalty and rewards into Toyota's European companion app. Bejan was able to showcase the value of design discovery to highly technical product managers and product owners which left a lasting impression and has set the foundation for leadership to endorse design discovery across all feature teams. His ability to distill large volumes of analysis and intricate technical details into clear summaries that are actionable for the client, coupled with a meticulous eye for detail and expertise in product design is exceptional. Bejan is an invaluable asset who consistently delivers outstanding results. Working closely with him has been a pleasure, and I will undoubtedly miss our collaborative efforts.
