About

I’m a product designer with a passion for creating intuitive and impactful digital experiences. With a focus on user-centered design, I lead projects end-to-end, from initial concepts through to launch, ensuring each detail resonates with users while achieving business goals. I’m dedicated to blending aesthetics with functionality, delivering solutions that feel both seamless and engaging.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse companies, including Snap Inc., Fit Analytics, Lingoda, and Sixt, spanning augmented reality, e-commerce, online education and transportation services. My roles at these companies have enabled me to design products that are accessible, user-friendly, and adaptable to various audiences.

I believe that great design is user-driven, innovative, and detail-oriented. My design process is anchored in thorough user research, iterative prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration. Working closely with teams across data, engineering, and product management, I ensure each project aligns with user needs while meeting technical requirements and business metrics.

I’m proficient in design tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD, and I integrate methods like wireframing, prototyping, and accessibility design into my workflow. Additionally, I’ve applied skills in design systems and tokenization, such as converting Figma variables into tokens with Token Studio, to maintain consistency and scalability across platforms.

I hold a BA in Communication Design with a minor in filmmaking. My background in visual storytelling has deeply influenced my approach to UX/UI, helping me blend narrative elements with design functionality to create engaging and user-friendly interfaces.

Growing up in London, spending my adolescence in Karachi, and now based in Berlin, I bring a multicultural perspective to my design work. I’m adaptable, empathetic, and skilled at working with diverse, cross-functional teams, which enables me to create products that resonate with global audiences.

Outside of product design, I’m passionate about isometric digital illustration. This creative outlet allows me to explore detail and perspective, keeping my design skills sharp and fresh. My love for illustration enriches my product design work, adding layers of creativity and precision.

I’m always interested in connecting with forward-thinking teams looking to merge design and technology to create user-centered products. Feel free to reach out to discuss how my skills can support your project goals! You can contact me at akberahmed@gmail.com.
