Warm intros to brand/logo designers

Summary
Two pre-launch (April 2026) warm introductions connecting Abdellatif with designers for Qaf's brand and logo. Omar E. Hamid introduced Rais, founder of boutique design studio Studio Foxhill, noting Rais had availability opening up end of April / early May — right before Qaf's planned early-May launch. Separately, Zoya Razzak at hex.inc connected Abdellatif with Maz Zain to scope details and budget for logo work; they had a call the next day, after which Abdellatif told Maz the team would defer the full branding project with hex until later. Both threads are historical context for the branding workstream, not open customer issues.

Warm double-opt-in style intro of Rais (Studio Foxhill) as a brand/logo designer for Qaf, with a link to the Qaf memo on Notion and a note that timing aligned with Rais's availability.
Rais, Abdellatif is building something exciting at Qaf ... and is looking for a strong brand designer to shape the app and logo. Right up your alley.
Abdellatif moved Omar to BCC, complimented Rais's portfolio, shared the Figma file of logo ideas already explored and a cal.com link, and noted Qaf was launching at the beginning of May and wanted a good brand/logo to go alongside it. No further messages on the thread.

Intro connecting Abdellatif to Maz Zain at hex.inc for Qaf logo work. Maz asked for a quick chat that night or the next day; a call was booked via Abdellatif's Notion calendar link and happened on 2026-04-17.
Abdellatif is looking for some logo work for Qaf! Connecting him to Maz to move forward with ironing out the details and budget for the logo.
Abdellatif's closing message after the call (2026-04-17):
Was great chatting with you yesterday. I spoke with my team. It makes for us to work with hex when we're a bit down the line and do the full branding project insha'Allah.
