Hey, again 👋
There's more to me than Figma files. Here's the story behind the curious kid who became a product designer
WHERE IT STARTED
A Small Town. A Big Curiosity.
Shorkot, Pakistan 🇵🇰 · 1999.
I grew up in a small town where life moved a little slower. I was always curious taking things apart, asking endless questions, and somehow finding something new to learn every day.
Looking back, I think that's where it all started.
THE FIRST SPARK
The Computer That Changed Everything
One day, a dusty old Fujitsu Siemens Pentium showed up at our house. I had no idea it would end up changing my life.
It started with GTA Vice City and collecting songs. Before long, I was downloading games overnight, fixing broken drivers, and spending more time figuring out computers than actually using them.
Looking back, I didn't realize it then, but curiosity had already taken over.
A NEW CHAPTER
Leaving Home
In 2017, I left Shorkot for Lahore. Everything felt new the city, the people, and life away from home.
Hostel life, late-night conversations, and friendships with people from completely different backgrounds changed the way I looked at the world.
Looking back, I didn't just leave home. I grew because of it.
THE PIVOT
Choosing Design
By the time I graduated in 2021, I already knew one thing, I enjoyed solving design problems far more than writing code.
Computer Science taught me how to think. Design gave me a reason to keep building.
Since then, I've been lucky to work with startups and growing teams, learning from great people and helping build products that people use every day.
WHEN I'M NOT DESIGNING
You'll probably find me...
Outside of work, you'll usually find me watching anime, practicing calligraphy, or exploring the latest AI tools. Right now, I'm having a lot of fun with Claude and Cursor, turning random ideas into little products.
