Designing for banter between football gamers
Mobile App (iOS & Android)2023 – Ongoing
Kickd came out of university FIFA arguments — the result screen gets skipped and all you're left with is he-said-she-said. I designed and shipped it to both app stores: the score read off the post-match screen by OCR or typed in, confirmed by your opponent before it counts, with the banter landing on the result itself. The dev partners built from Figma, so I handed them running prototypes of the interactions rather than annotated stills — the specificity Figma can't carry.

Outcome
Out on iOS and Android in open beta, with around half of logged results now carrying a reaction. An AI-native setup — Claude wired to Supabase, Mixpanel and Granola over MCP — keeps usage data beside the workflow.
Bringing structure to Pakistan's informal creator economy
Mobile App (iOS & Android)2025 – Ongoing
Creators run a business out of WhatsApp and a spreadsheet, and wait 60–120 days to be paid. I took it from first conversation to build-ready in five months, structured around the business rather than the invoice — clients, agreements, milestones that can be refused as well as approved, and a running ledger underneath. Getting that model right early meant no architectural rebuild months post-launch. Not a job tracker; the admin layer a freelance business actually runs on.

Outcome
In closed beta, with the brand platform — the flip side of the same marketplace — now in prototype.
A prototype-first build aligned investors and the first beta users in five months.
What if a community could breathe together?
Designing an air quality system for communities
Air Quality Ecosystem2023 – Ongoing
Most air purifiers in Pakistan are ugly plastic boxes people hide in cupboards — and out of sight, the problem stops existing, in a city with some of the worst air in the world. Kair is the first product out of Phir/Se, the studio I co-founded: I designed the purifier, set the app's structure and core UX, and designed the storefront it sells through. Five builds from cardboard to walnut — aligning hardware constraints like single-sheet plywood yield along the way — with 100 units now in production.

100 purifiers in production, with pre-orders open on the live storefront.

Prototype-first design inside a logistics startup
Web2025 – Ongoing
The platform was modelled around a single account view, and merchants operate across several — the job they actually came for was comparing between them. I built that view as a working prototype: what aggregates, what compares, what stays separate, argued out in the room instead of in a spec. The rework landed before mass rollout rather than after it.

Culture Change
Outcome
A core data model corrected before rollout, not after. Prototyping is now part of the workflow rather than something I bring.
At a glance
My career hasn't been linear, and that turns out to be the point — connecting things that look unrelated is the part I'm best at. Not all of it fits into a case study, so ask me about the rest on a call.
About me
I've been working across the design industry for over 10 years, mostly at the early stages — product strategy, wireframing, and setting up the fundamental experience while it's still cheap to change. The best part of any project is the early stretch where the fundamentals are still open — when a working prototype can still change what gets built.
You're particularly good at mentoring: clear, actionable feedback that helps designers improve without feeling discouraged. Your decisions connect design work with the bigger product and business goals.
AmeerDesigner, Create
You were always mindful of pulling the team out of pixel pushing. Taking a step back and thinking of the product through low-fidelity wireframes and experimentation.
