Hey you, I’m Abdullah. Designer by trade. Researcher by habit.
A product designer who owns problems end to end: framing them with research, shaping the answer with product and engineering, and checking after launch whether it actually worked.
* The title is self-awarded. It’s the domain name. The four numbers are measured.
Open to mid-level and senior roles · Available now. Pakistan. Remote or on-site, worldwide. Open to relocating to London, UK.
§ 1 · The claimant
Product designer with 4+ years across EdTech, LegalTech, FinTech, AI and enterprise, working with PMs, engineers and researchers from research to handoff.
Permission and sharing models, source attribution for AI answers, and the internal tools behind them. I’ve shipped a consumer mobile app used by 200K people a day and bilingual Arabic and English products for Saudi Arabia.
A friend mentioned that the Qur’an for All app felt outdated. I audited it on my own for my portfolio and sent it cold to the institute’s founder. They hired me to lead the redesign.
§ 2 · The evidence
Shipped products, each with research and measured results.
Exhibit A · UX audit · Mobile · EdTech
A free Islamic learning app with over 20,000 audio lectures and around 200K daily listeners in 90+ countries. I started with an audit nobody asked for, got hired to lead the redesign, and over eight months we shipped a new navigation, home screen and player.[3]
Exhibit B · AI trust · LegalTech
Lawyers wouldn’t act on an AI answer they couldn’t check. I designed the system that lets every claim in Malakah’s answers open the exact article of Saudi law it came from.[4]
Exhibit C · Permissions · LegalTech
An AI workspace adds a new kind of access: asking questions about a document. I designed Malakah’s permission system, from organisation roles down to a single contract, so legal teams can share without losing control.[6]
Exhibit D · Brand identity · Rebrand
I rebuilt Stixor’s brand guidelines: a story that matches the business, a warmer and more ownable palette, a stricter type system, and a voice that explains instead of hypes.
§ 3 · The method
Six steps I follow on every project, each one shown in the exhibits above.
Start with what’s broken and who it’s broken for: UX audits, surveys, interviews and following real tasks end to end.
Qur’an for All: ~1,900 survey responses[5]
Turn findings into a clear problem, the workflows it touches, and the numbers that will say whether we fixed it.
Malakah: 12 interviews, 6 mapped workflows[6]
Set the information architecture and core flows before any pixels, so the product has a shape engineers can build on.
Malakah: one access model across 4 levels
Design the UI and the system behind it, including right-to-left Arabic and left-to-right English, and prototype the risky parts.
Bilingual RTL / LTR design system
Put prototypes in front of real users, watch where they struggle, and change the design before it reaches code.
Malakah: 10 usability sessions
Work through trade-offs with PMs and engineers until it ships, then measure whether it actually worked.

§ 4 · In my words
Start with the people who struggle most; their success is everyone’s.
“Always done” isn’t always right. Defaults get challenged.
Mistakes are data. Talking about what failed makes the team faster.
Shipped work speaks for you, so design it responsibly.
