Matt Woolhouse
Creative Director/Principal at Wongdoody
"Pavan was instrumental to the work we created for Vanguard. We worked through some very detailed and rigorous work creating a message center, which had more expensive features than gmail or outlook. Pavan was organized and detail oriented, always had multiple concepts and ideas to bring to the table and his general relaxed demeanor and level of professionalism was welcome by internal team and clients. I look forward to working with pavan in the future.We're lucky to have him."

"I had the pleasure of working with Pavan on two projects, and his work ethic and expertise in user research and prototyping were truly impressive. He is an excellent communicator, a great team player, and has a creative approach to problem solving. Not only was he a valuable asset to our team, He also made working together an enjoyable experience. I have no doubt that he will be a valuable asset to any team he works with."
I have known Mr Suresh for just under two years. In that time, I was his manager on a digital experience team serving a financial services client at Infosys. Mr Suresh was based in India and me in the City of Philadelphia. As his manager and leader in two very
different timezones, I have only known Mr Suresh to be present, passionate and professional. He’s knowledgeable, participatory, empathetic, strategic and highly creative. He’s a team player, a flexible collaborator, a thoughtful strategist and a really
likable guy.
What stands out is his ability to take a project and run with it only to complete it with an open warmth and an show stopping brilliance. He delivers his work with phenomenal care and detail, and provides an unmatched originality that he alone exudes. He’s
skillful, willing to venture into new creative territories, goes beyond what is expected andasked for and is an absolute pleasure to solution with — he made the job a lot of fun for me and for his teammates.

had the pleasure of working with Pavan on a few logo concepts for side projects of mine. He was timely, responsive, and organized. Based on the couple of weeks of working together, I would consider him again for a design need.
