Architect @ Simbian.aiAs someone who spent a decade as a graphic designer, I truly understand the pursuit of perfection in every deliverable. That's why I can confidently say that Akhil is one of the best UX designers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Akhil is not only incredibly talented but also a fantastic colleague—prompt, professional, and loyal.
