I’ve worked with Aaqib to develop social media assets to communicate the Always brand (from Procter & Gamble company) social impact programs globally. It was great to work with him because he was very quick and creative, proposing proactively different options and ideas for the assets. He was also very collaborative, always listening to our feedback and find alternative solutions to meet our objectives.

Aaqib “our design monster” has a brilliant reputation across the board. Clients and colleagues alike have praised him for his passion, consistently producing work that is fresh and unexpected. He possesses an extraordinarily fine eye for detail; for being unselfishly collaborative; for adding value and, perhaps most importantly, for being able to create and recognize great ideas and leading other creatives. Basically, he’s just amazing to work with.

Rami Aziz Executive Creative Director | Carat - Dentsu AEGIS

I interviewed over a dozen creatives and went through over 100 portfolios for design & art direction help on our Creative Team, and Aaqib stood out as one of the best. Not only that, his work is quick and he is timely with communication.

Aaqib was a wonderful person to work with. He had been so professional, cooperative and understanding and always go extra miles giving more for the customer. As a client I couldn’t be any happier to work with him again and again.
