Hi, I’m Tayyab, designing websites that feel like you
About me
Seven years in, I've stopped thinking of design as screens. I design systems: how a product decides what to show, when to show it, and what happens after the tap. That's the work that separates an interface people tolerate from one they trust. Fintech, SaaS, Web3, telehealth, and ecommerce, 120+ products shipped.
I came into design from software engineering, which changed how I work. I know what's expensive to build, where handoff breaks down, and why the prettiest concept often dies in the sprint. So I design with constraints in the room from day one, and I stay in it through delivery. Fewer beautiful ideas that fall apart in production. More that ship, scale, and hold up under real users.
Work Experiences
Where I’ve grown, designed and contributed
