Testimonials
Working with Khayam has been a pleasure. He’s one of the most proactive designers I’ve worked with, always stepping up to take ownership of challenges. Khayam led our design system, defined mobile-first patterns, and ensured best practices in highly regulated areas like crypto banking. He creates thoughtful, user-first solutions, tells compelling design stories, and consistently brings attention to detail. His ability to work autonomously in complex environments and his deep understanding of design thinking made him a major asset to our team. I highly recommend Khayam as a top-tier product designer.

Khayam was a great asset to the Allica Bank Payments squad. Working on an array of new product features, and contributing to the new, overall design system, khayam had a solid understanding of UX / UI design, and was willing to openly work alongside engineering to come to conclusions quickly but effectively. I'd happily recommend Khayam to any engineering team going forward.

I had the opportunity to work with Khayam for in his role on the Monese payments team. During which time, he proved to be a strong asset to the team, and I recommend him forward for a senior or lead design position. Khayams strengths were demonstrated to me through his ability to use his passion and energy to drive problems forward each day, and reach a well thought out, well crafted solution. Khayam also works well in group environments, giving useful feedback and direction to other designers on the team, contributing towards building a strong design culture within the business.

We have very high, exacting standards here at Fathom when it comes to design. Our clients require us to create bespoke, highly complex pieces of software which means we need fast learners and nimble minds, design leaders who will bring a focus and a highly creative outlook to match their superlative production skills. Khayam is a superb example of exactly that kind of person. He's a lovely chap to boot, who at the end of his stay with us was a key member of the team, consistently originating brilliant work at speed and with great aplomb. Our engineers, in particular, will miss his fantastically well-organised Figma files. We didn't want to let him go, and will take him back in a heartbeat when the opportunity arises.

Khayam is an excellent designer who's talent and professional skills make him a credit to the team. His forethought, attention to detail and consideration for edge cases make him a pleasure to work with. He always works with consideration for the technical side of how his designs would be implemented and was able to quickly answer any questions I might have in this regard. His communication skills are great and he is always able to explain his thought process behind a decision. I really enjoyed working with Khayam and would recommend him a designer who would deliver fantastic value to any team.

Khayam is an adaptable, thoughtful and insightful product designer. He is an all-rounder - with an excellent ability to interact with both clients (presenting ideas, providing rationale and gaining insight from them) and with design team members (UX & UI) to create a positive working environment. Our developers loved Khayam's practical skills (figma pro? yes!) and our design team loved his passion and knowledge to shape best in class software!
