I had the privilege of teaching UX at UC Berkeley Extension and leading a UX bootcamp for Careerists. It was an incredible experience to be able to share my knowledge and help others pursue their passions.

As a tutor, I helped students improve their skills in design thinking processes, user research methods, human-centred design principles, visual design, and workshop facilitation.

From idea

to execution

01

Define

Understand project goals, identify user pain points, target the right audience, and establish a clear project roadmap.

02

Design

Consolidate and prioritize the identified pain points, then create solutions that directly contribute to achieving the project goals established in the define phase.

03

Deliver

Once the design solutions are tested and finalized, build and launch the product. After the launch, monitor the product to ensure stability and performance meet expectations.

" Hammad is hands down one of the best UX designers I've ever worked with. He has a demeanor that exudes confidence in his employees while he keeps tense situations calm.  He's built out enterprise-level products and guided an alliance of teams to make those products accessible and on-brand.

He has worked with cross-discipline teams and communicating between UX, development, and business stakeholders allows him to bring value to the overall organization structure...

" Hammad is one of the most talented Design Thinking practitioners I've ever worked with. 
Hammad consistently comes to the table with creative and insightful ideas for solving design problems, often with significant evidence to support his position from both UX and industry sources.

I've never met someone who so deftly uses the Laws of UX to support his design proposals to reduce the possibility of bias or subjectivity in design solutions.
Hammad has also led numerous Design Thinking workshops and design sessions that have transformed the way we work at CNB...

" I managed Hammad while he worked at Google and was impressed by his disciplined work effort and his drive to continually learn about our products and publishers. He significantly helped convert our largest publishers to mobile optimized sites by building mockups, code samples, advising on page loading times, and providing overall recommendations on how to build a great mobile experience.

Matt Salisbury
Ads Product Specialist Google

" Hammad and I worked together in the website redesign project at FTFCU. 
Hammad has picked really well on the Agile principles, values and methodologies. He is very sincere. He not only worked diligently on his UX assignments but also stepped up to help communicate effectively with the offshore team and stakeholders. 


I recommend Hammad and know he will bring great value to his team.
