“I have worked with Ehtsham for 2.5 years developing better user interfaces for embedded devices. As a designer Ehtsham has a very good aesthetics sense and creative ideas for better user experience. He is hard-working, honest and delivers on time. I wish him best of luck in his professional career.”

Osama A. Hashmi Managed Ehtsham at Core Digital Frameworks

“Ehtsham has two qualities that I find are essential for good designers - eternal optimism and the belief that there is always a way to match the vision. I have worked with a number of designers but very few have shown a relentless persuit to matching, and sometimes surpassing the design goal at hand, no matter how ambitious. We continue to use some of his designs to this day.”
