“Malik is one of those rare designers who sees the full picture — user needs, business goals, team dynamics — and somehow manages to bring it all together beautifully. Every product he touched moved forward with more purpose, clarity, and quality. He became a trusted partner, not just a designer, and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.”
