TESTIMONIALS

This is what people say about me. 👏🏽

Here are some reviews from the superheroes I've worked with.

Ankit is not your ordinary web developer. He is agnostic to almost every no-code framework. He designed a brand new landing page for us in Figma and quickly implemented the design in Webflow. The best part is, he requires little direction. He's one of those guys you dream of working with when you're a busy founder on a time crunch and need *that guy* to exceed expectations. I would recommend Ankit to every startup founder looking for a reliable, ninja web developer to bring ideas life quickly and with quality.

Alim Charaniya

Founder & CEO Ambitious Labs
2x startup founder

Very creative UX designer is the word I associate most with Ankit. After looking at his portfolio and meeting with him, we hired him as a freelance intern for our platform, DotMyStyle. He is ridiculously efficient when managing projects within the timeline. One of the best things about him is the creative thinking he puts into the project and brings out the best. If you want to have a UI/UX designer in your team/company, Ankit earns my highest recommendation.

Amit Kumar

Founder & CEO Dot My Style

I have collaborated with Ankit for a complex ecommerce solution and was amazed with his approach of working . He is creative, innovative and a good listener. He single handedly designed the whole system. He takes feedback positively. I would highly recommend him as a UI/UX Designer and researcher.

Atul Singh

Founder Translense Pvt Ltd

Ankit consulted for our software startup for over a year working mostly in UI/UX design and assisting in other creative initiatives, from PowerPoint deck design and media advertising graphics for ad campaigns. Ankit is not only skilled in Figma and a thoughtful UI/UX designer, but he is also able to produce these professional results at lightning speed. There was multiple times when we asked him if he could help with a project requiring new skills and tools and he took the initiative to find the tools and learn the software to complete these requests. We highly recommend Ankit for a UI/UX position and he would be an amazing asset and team member to any organization
