My personal portfolio website is live.
And before I share the link — I want to share the story behind it.
I got into UX/UI design in 2020. Zero experience. No connections. Just a laptop, free YouTube tutorials, and a lot of uncertainty about whether this was the right path.
The first year was just learning — courses, practice, failing fast. Then I joined Zainklab agency. That was my first real taste of what it meant to work with clients, handle feedback, and deliver under pressure.
After about a year, I went freelance.
Fiverr and Dribbble turned out to be more than platforms — they became my portfolio, my client pipeline, and my proof of work. Today, 4 years later:
→ 150+ projects completed
→ 6+ years of experience
→ 10+ diverse industries
→ Clients across 4 continents
→ Video testimonials from founders, PMs and CEOs
This website is the honest version of that journey.
Not a highlight reel. The real story — the learning, the grind, the work.
I design interfaces that work for real people — not just look good in Figma. I care about accessibility, systems that scale, and solutions that actually solve problems.
If you're a founder, startup or agency looking for a designer who brings both craft and strategic thinking — I'd love to hear about what you're building.

Designed the landing page for Smug — an AI support agent that resolves tickets, knows exactly when to escalate to a human, and has zero interest in pretending otherwise.
Most AI support tools go the humble, over-apologetic route. Smug does the opposite — the whole brand is built around a smug little cat mascot and copy like "Handled it. You're welcome." It's a genuinely fun brief: figuring out how to make confidence read as charming instead of obnoxious.
Bold electric blue and orange instead of the usual muted SaaS palette, because a product this confident shouldn't look shy about it. 💙
cool
A little peek at the project I started this week.
A new hero section for Precept — a project management tool for creative agencies and studios.
Designed in Figma, with development in Framer planned next.
Very excited to see the whole thing come together 🔥

A good landing page shouldn’t make you work to understand it.
Been working on a new project where the goal was simple:
Make a complex product feel simple, clear, and easy to explore.
Less explaining.
Less clutter.
More visual hierarchy.
A clearer path to the next step.
Still working through the details, but this one is coming together nicely.
Full case study soon.
This pairs well with the Hire Hangar screenshot because the design itself demonstrates the point—you don't need to reveal the whole project yet.
