I have worked with Unmesh for over 3 years. He is a persistent, patient and thoughtful advocate for the user experience. He is very skilled at untangling complex business problems and will tenaciously pursue a solution utilizing not only his sharp intelligence but also a sensitive artistic eye for detail. He has made a significant contribution to our team.

Unmesh is thoughtful, a great collaborator, and very easy to work with. He had a keen eye for detail and is a talented artist both in UX design and beyond. It was a pleasure working with Unmesh on our Agent portal!
Bhavinee Vyas
Lead Consultant, HFI
Quietly brilliant. That's how I'd describe Unmesh. I had the pleasure of working with him on a UX Research and Design project for a high-value client in South Africa and felt tremendously grateful for the calmness and sense he brought to situations that could have quite easily become chaotic and pointless. I do miss working with him and look forward to a future where we have opportunities to work together.
