About Kamyar Houbakht

Hello! My name is Kamyar, the creator and curator of NewCycle.studio.

This body of work has been developed for more than two decades. After graduating as a computer engineer, I started IT and design work in 2000-2001. It was around 2003 that I co-founded Maqsad Internet Solutions, one of the first providers of CMS system solutions and SEO services in Dubai. Since 2008 I started learning and researching about leadership, systemic thinking and transformation. Regarding facilitating transitions, the major practices I have been engaged with are Systemic Transformation with Living Wholeness Institute, Participatory Leadership with Art of Hosting, Leading from a sense of future possibility with Theory U.

Kamyar built our charity a very beautiful and very effective website. He had been personally recommended by the chair of our board of directors and he did not disappoint! Kamyar is a profoundly thoughtful and compassionate person, and these qualities come through in his graceful service. I cannot recommend Kamyar highly enough.

Kamyar stands out amongst the website developers I have worked with. I could tell he would be an ideal long term partner for my website needs with his very calm, grounded, demeanor and his ability to explain complex technical subject matter in a simple, plainspoken, way. He quickly understood my vision and was able to add to it with great suggestions on improving my UX, SEO, and overall digital marketing. I found him to be completely reliable throughout the web development process. He promptly answered questions, addressed issues with my site, and delivered the site on schedule. His process is entirely transparent and I always had a clear sense of his progress. I highly recommend Kamyar, and look forward to working with him again soon on other projects.

We are very happy to have met Kamyar, first as a friend then as a partner to design our website. He was very patient and helpful, since we knew roughly what we wanted, but haven't decided yet on the subtile details. He approached us as a coach, making us contemplate about our goals, target group and personal style. Kamyar is not only present during the development phase but also in the after sales service, always looking for the greater good of his customers. We are delighted to have a well-designed website with an easy to use content management system.

It’s been a privilege to work on my website with Kamyar- he is really present, listens so well and i felt he got me and what i needed so easily! He is very creative, his aesthetic sense and perspective was what brought my website to life. As a psychotherapist, my website is often how my clients first make contact with me and i have been getting such great comments on my website and my work has really flourished due to the website reflecting my soul and my work so accurately. I highly recommend working with Kamyar if you are looking for your inner potential to come alive and show itself…

Kamyar's amazing gift of being an attentive listener made everything much easier during the contruction of the website. Not only is he talented and experienced in technical matters but also he really gets what you want. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I am in love with my Orca Dreams website. I love the clean, simple and aesthetic design that meets functionality. Everyone who visited my website stated its beauty, its clarity and the way it gave them calm and peace, which is fully in line with my work on holistic health and mindfulness. It was a joy working with Kamyar. From the beginning to the end, he listened deeply to my work concept, my ideas, wishes and dreams. He helped me to become clearer in the organization and presentation of my ideas and my work. Kamyar took time with each detail, and made room for custom tailored functions as needed. I also appreciate him teaching his customers on how to use the website, giving training and support during the process and having options for follow-up support.

"Kamyar offered his wisdom of listening and his practical up-to-date knowledge of website development into the conversations as the process was unfolding. At a practical level, he delivered solutions that maintain the balance between design/art and information. He also infused the process with creative suggestions on design improvements in relation to user needs. His technical knowledge combined with his acute intuitive perceptive senses resulted in a practical special online platform, a website that is easy to update and expand."

Upgrade of my website with Kamyar was easily and I’m pleasantly surprised. My website is now more clear and first of all I have now a better overview. I enjoyed the cooperation and learned a lot of things. Thank you Kamyar for your professional support.
