Project officer
I had the pleasure of working with Rajat on to create the StatsCAN mobile application, starting in June 2021. I worked on the business team, and Rajat joined as as the UX designer on the project. We worked under extremely tight timelines on this project-- developing a minimum viable product (MVP) in roughly 6 months-- and could not have done it without Rajat.

In 2021, Rajat volunteered to redesign the mobile app to help local business and were blown away by his creative flair and attention to detail. He listened closely to all client requirements and took the time to make sure he understood the brand and goals. His design far exceeded our expectations – in both style and functionality – and the client has had an overwhelmingly positive response from their customers. If Rajat is not sure of something, he will let you know and then find out and solve the problem.
