Sam Marks, UX Director
I had the pleasure of managing Azade for three years, during which she showed impressive growth as a UX Product Designer. Over that time, she not only honed her core design skills and deepened her expertise in design system usage, but also proved her ability to adapt seamlessly across different parts of the product.
Francesco, Director
I had the chance to work with Azade at adidas and was immediately impressed by her thoughtfulness and talent as a designer. From her very first assignment, she quickly grasped a new product and its value proposition, and supported the team all the way to go-live with excellent design. Beyond her skills, Azade brings kindness, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit that make every project, and the team, stronger.
Aida, Product design Lead
Azade's creativity in addition to her research and user-understanding allows her to come up with ideas that are creative while responding to user needs, regardless of the set boundaries. She is also a delight to work with and is a great team player.
