Build log, Part 4 · 30 Oct 2026
Where people hang up on an AI caller, whether a new opening helped, and what two voice assistants did differently.
Case study · Design and engineering, 2026
A live voice agent that phones German businesses for English speakers, and checks with you when something isn't in the plan. Five weeks, one designer, 35 real calls.
Selected projects
Design and engineering · 2026
AI trip planners write itineraries that read well and fall apart: places in the wrong city, days you can't actually walk.
Roam checks every stop against real places and travel times. I designed and built it alone in 48 hours, then spent eight weeks fixing what real use exposed.
Snap Inc. · 2023
Shoppers ignored AI recommendations, not because they were wrong, but because nothing explained them.
Muse is an AI stylist that builds complete, shoppable outfits and shows the reasoning behind every pick. One of three competing proposals in an eight-week Snap sprint.
About me
Hey, I'm Akber. Senior Product Designer in Berlin with eight years of experience across AI, fashion, mobility and EdTech, building products people actually enjoy using.
Four years at Snap, mostly on Fit Finder, then Muse, an AI stylist I designed from 0 to 1 in my last year there. After that I built and shipped Roam, an AI trip planner, on my own. Both taught me the same thing: the hard part isn't the interface, it's making model output trustworthy enough that people keep going.
I geek out over design systems, sweat the details, and do my best work close to both the engineers and the people the product is built for.
