I had the pleasure of working with Aman during his time as Senior Product Designer at webook.com, where he reported to our Design Director and worked closely with me as Chief Product Officer. Aman stood out for how effectively he brought AI into his design process. He used it to explore ideas faster, test more directions, and move from concept to polished work in a fraction of the usual time. He treated AI as a real part of his toolkit, and his output showed it: sharper thinking, quicker iterations, and designs grounded in clear reasoning. Beyond the tools, Aman has a strong product sense. He understands the business goals behind a feature, asks the right questions, and designs with the user firmly in mind. He communicates his decisions clearly and takes feedback with maturity. Any team looking for a modern, forward-thinking product designer would be lucky to have Aman. I recommend him without hesitation.”
