Arvand Alviri

“Through UX design, Arvand has the magical ability to transform a user’s complicated needs by providing simple, user friendly designs that fulfill complicated requirements. Through clearly defined specs and deliverables, he educated team members and engineers on the user flow, making sure the product design is correctly executed.”

“Arvand is a great asset to us at Microsoft. With his expertise in UX and product design, he is able to gain everyone’s trust in a very short timeframe. His work attitude and mentality has been able to make cross functional team members work effectively together, and lead to great product results.”

“Everybody calm down... we’ve got this! Arvand is so cool under pressure. He knows what to do, he knows what to ask, he absorbs the current system, he listens, he takes notes, he gets it. And because he gets it, he get you to slow down a second and think through what’s been communicated. He turns “asks” into “UX”.
When Arvand started at WMG he was lined up to tackle a very complicated project involving many user types (internal and external) and many workflows. I was nervous because of the system knowledge he would need to build in order to meet the speed to feature asks. What happened was what I lead this recommendation with. He absorbed, he understood, everybody started calming down. He read, he used the product, he ran targeted research, he asked for history... and THEN he designed, asked questions again... and soon enough there was more design ready than engineers had capacity.
Everybody calm down... Arvand’s got this. He’s a pro.”

“I worked closely with Arvand for a year at WMG where he was extremely easy to work and communicate with and was a fantastic collaborator on product design. He took the initiative to introduce our team to UX research and aspects of Product Design best practices. He was able to work with unknowns and dig into problems to solve for the correct business use cases with user friendly and intuitive designs. He questioned requirements and delved into deeper issues in order to gain a full understanding of the problems presented. He showcased proactive problem-solving when it was needed. I would highly recommend him for any Product Design, UX research or UX/UI work.”

“Arvand was a breath of fresh air on a struggling project. He stepped in with a high level skill set in customer discovery interviews and helped us see what the real problem was. His insights from only two weeks of work, while pushed back on by team members, were ultimately proven true. After that, Arvand was the primary developer of the User Testing Program, a group of dedicated users that gave feedback on prototypes and usability of solutions. This solved a deep need of the program which struggled to get meaningful feedback. After that was established, Arvand worked hard on data analytics integration which became a key part of our long term maintenance of the product. Overall, I would say that Arvand is a valuable resource on any team that needs customer discovery, usability testing, or Google (or other) analytics.”

“Arvand was able to translate our high level business needs into a tangible set of customer-facing UX/UI wireframes. He helped us put together a rapid prototype that effectively captured our desired vision and customer experience. I would definitely recommend Arvand for your future design work!”

“I didn’t fully recognize the value of UX/UI until Arvand provided the design for the Discourse.ai Cognition platform. Arvand easily solved our hardest design problems and likely saved us millions of investment. If you’re a CEO or VP of Engineering, you’ll be lucky to have Arvand on your team.”

“It has been said that when you experience good design, you don’t notice it because your mind interprets the flow automatically. I can’t think of a more fitting way to share my experience with Arvand.

This wasn’t our core team’s first experience with an outside consultant, but it was our smoothest. Arvand was tasked with reviewing our user experience and proposing meaningful changes to make life easier for our favorite people: our customers.

His workflow was rationally explained, methodical, and exceeded my expectations. His communication was effortless in such a way that our diverse team understood his proposed changes and were eager to implement them. Further, our users were comfortable speaking with him about their day-do-day challenges in a way they hadn’t shared with us before.

With Arvand’s help, we learned a lot about our where our customers’ ideal experience was located, and he left us with a map to get there.”

“Arvand is an amazing Designer who came into our AI company, provided keen assessment on three critical projects we had and delivered laser focused, simple, elegant designs that addressed the exact needs and use cases of the personas we targetted to support without any additional complexity. I can’t imagine how these projects would have turned out without Arvand’s input! I will use Arvand again in a heartbeat as soon as we have more Design work for him to sink his teeth into! Thank you, Arvand!”

“Arvand was a valuable resource for us in navigating a complex new technology and designing an interface that was simple and informative for customers to use. He was resourceful in finding resources to interview and developing customer feedback. Arvand took the time to understand our problems and consistently adjusted his work based on feedback.

I recommend Arvand for supplemental and primary UI/UX design and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Arvand is a game changer. He is incredibly efficient, reliable and delivers spectacular results. 8 months or go a so, we were a startup that had just received seed-funding and we were struggling to make our web + mobile app a reality. Arvand’s UX designs and analysis are what streamlined our product not only aesthetically, but as a whole. He consistently provided us with advice and designs that led to us receiving multiple rounds of funding and countless investors described his work as cutting edge.

I cannot recommend him enough. Hire him, you won’t regret it.”

“Arvand is one of the best designers we’ve worked with. He added value and insight to our project after he carefully listened and understood. His contributions made the project better than it would have turned out without him. His design skills are top notch, and his deliverables are crisp - We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely aim to work with Arvand again”

“We have been extremely pleased with Arvand’s work. He communicates well, works quickly, understands our needs and produces great results. I would recommend him to anyone that needs UX help.”

“Arvand did a fantastic job taking my vision for an iphone app and turning it into a professional design that I will be proud to launch in the app store. His design was above and beyond what I was expecting and his turnaround time was speedy, communication was excellent, and he offered general tips and advice that were valuable. I highly recommend Arvand.”
