In my own words

Zaid

<p>Over the last 14 years, I have worked with and for companies such as Expedia, Xbox, Apple, and Intel to elevate the user experience of their applications and websites.</p><p></p><p>I love to be in dialogue with clients, working live, in-person, using whiteboard and paper.

I use design to show, ask, and envision, and to help stakeholders explain, react, and choose.</p>
