Katie Schmidtz
E-Commerce Product Manager at Knixwear

Salman is an incredible person to work with. As a product owner, I worked very closely with Salman on multiple projects including both web and app-based platforms, and in our time together I relied on him to produce innovative designs in a high-paced environment. Salman is a very strong facilitator and is able to communicate his work clearly to stakeholders, developers and testers. He is also very receptive to feedback and is constantly trying to grow as a person and develop his creative and professional skills. I learned so much from him about design best-practices for both UI and UX, and I appreciate his kind approach to sharing his knowledge.

Salman is an attentive listener and is able to translate complex requirements into creative, comprehensive designs. He is always generous with his time, and I really value our time working together. Salman is an invaluable asset to any team both as a designer and a person.

David McArthur
Digital Design Manager at WestJet

Salman is a very talented and standout UX designer. I hired Salman as a UX designer in 2019 and I was consistently impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of UX design.

His calm and approachable demeanour combined with his design talent is a rare find. Salman would make an incredible asset to any design team.

Kelsey Kimura
Manager UX/UI Design at WestJet

Salman was one of the strongest designers on our team and I looked to him for his professionalism and expertise. During his time at WestJet, Salman lead design on a multi-disciplinary team in the creation of our booking channel within our mobile app.

Salman is deeply connected to his trade, constantly learning and demonstrating his ability. He can problem-solve by leveraging his design experience and has acute attention to detail. He is able to prioritize the needs of the user and the needs of the business.

One of his most admirable skills is his ability and willingness to teach. He can clearly communicate directions and has patience and empathy to support more junior designers. I hope to work with Salman in the future as he is an incredible asset to any team.

Karla Gould
Senior Product Owner Mobile Apps at WestJet

It has been a pleasure to work with Salman. Salman is a highly talented, hardworking and all around valuable member of our team. The quality of Salman’s work reflects his focus on understanding the overall business goals and user needs. Salman’s designs are created with a focus on how to provide the user the best possible user experience. I appreciated his creativity and ability to work collaboratively with myself and developers. I highly recommend Salman and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

Mike Schuck
Design Manager, Guest Experience at WestJet

It has been my great pleasure to work with Salman on WestJet’s Digital Design Team. Salman’s contributions and guidance in driving our WestJet app guest experience has been outstanding.

His creative vision and execution is in a class by itself. From visual design, animation, mentorship and character, Salman sets the bar extremely high.

I’m a better designer today for having worked alongside Salman!

Emily Allen
UX/UI Mobile Apps Designer at WestJet

I had the pleasure of working alongside Salman at WestJet on the Mobile Apps design team. Salman is a fantastic designer, he is so humbled and the energy he gives off is extremely inspiring and motivating especially to a Junior designer like myself. Salman was eager and patient to help me learn the ropes while always providing his honest feedback.

Salman carried the Native Booking team as the sole lead designer and never hesitated to throw himself completely into his work. His passion for design, helping others, and truly putting the company’s needs first is very evident in his day to day work. Salman gave many people something to look forward to going into work each day, and he never failed to bring a smile no matter how difficult a situation may have been. Any company would be truly fortunate to have Salman join their design team. I am honoured to have been able to learn from one of the best designers I have met in my career. He is a natural leader, and I am confident that he is going to go very far in his career.
