Naveed After He Was Simpsonized

Naveed Usman is owner of the Chicago web design agency, The Usman Group. Why do we have another company's president listed as being part of our team? Because he is part of the team! In fact, we work so closely with some of our strategic partners, that one would never think we belonged to different companies.

Naveed manages the sales force behind both of our operations. In addition, he is an excellent front-end designer that works with our clients to create top-notch web designs. Keith and Naveed have worked together for many years and we hope that our professional working relationship only grows in the years to come.

Naveed is a member of the GLMV Chamber of Commerce.
