About meProcessesAchievementArticlesTalks
I create better design experiences for user people.
I’m Shabbir, a Product Designer based in the Netherland. First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to check out my personal website & spend a few moments getting to know me.

My favourite part about being a product designer is being able to work on complex problems and trying to simplify these problems into solutions that work for people. Since 2006, I've engaged in digital product design and development. I spend most of my days in strategic meetings and communication, either with users or internal teams such as stakeholders, product managers and developers to solve problems and design experiences that make people's lives simpler.

I am fortunate enough that I worked with some big and startups tech companies in the past. Currently, working full time as a Senior Product Designer at Mendix Technology BV (A Siemens business).

Where I can add value
I begin my work by examining where people leave off in their journey. My research focus is identifying the reasons for their disengagement. I gather insights through observing people in their environment, answering questions, verifying hypotheses, collecting quantitative/qualitative feedback, and testing prototypes to enhance the final product design. Some common areas where I bring value through research include:
  • Secondary research (Quantitative)
  • Primary research (Qualitative)
  • Empathy mapping
  • User persona
  • User story
  • User journey map
  • User research reports
  • HMW statements
  • Crazy 8s
  • High and low fidelity prototypes
  • Wireframes
  • High-fidelity, pixel-perfect mock-ups
  • Usability reports
  • Heuristic evaluation reports
  • User testing reports and
  • Design pattern libraries, style guides or design systems
