Faz lives in Washington, DC. When he is not talking about himself in 3rd person, he enjoys the outdoors, spending time with Bruno the dog, making travel plans with his wife, or geeking out with friends. He brings 20+ years of experience leading design teams and human-centered design efforts. As a design director, he combines strategic thought leadership, holistic ideation, and forward-leaning design principles across various media — uniquely positioning him to provide creative, customer-centric solutions that transform experiences. Faz has been evolving with the design field since Web 1.0, after graduating from University of Maryland. He has led design efforts at Fannie Mae, Fjord (Accenture), AOL and AARP, among many others. He has also been teaching design, on and off, since 2004. Faz loves to wear many hats, in fact you should ask him about it during video calls.
