About

For over 15 years, I have focused on designing experiences that are inclusive, accessible, beautiful, and impactful.

I've shipped products used by millions around the world — across healthcare, sports, and e-commerce. I've worked with product leaders and engineers on responsive web, iOs, Android, digital wearables, and VR headsets.

In recent years I've worked in leadership — building design teams on the principles of empathy, trust, and empowerment.

About Me

Bonus Director's Cut

Proof that swag transcends borders

Half a world away

My parents immigrated to New York from Bangladesh. Through years of hard work and sacrifice, they raised four children in Rego Park, Queens. Their resiliency is ingrained in me and a huge part of my success in life. I owe it all to them (just ask my therapist).

World's youngest funeral director

Vandal-in-training

As a kid, I was obsessed with art - always drawing in the margins of books and rendering them unreadable. In junior high, I once drew all over my entire desk in and got suspended for it. My mom laughed these things off - maybe she understood that all creativity is a risk.

Punks not dead (it just has a Roth IRA now)

Anarchy in the 401k

In my teens, I stumbled upon copy of Photoshop and began designing t-shirts and album covers for local bands.

This evolved into making websites using HTML & CSS - using software like Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Dreamweaver, Corel Draw, and even QuarkXPress.

Voted most likely to drown in student loan debt

I could have filled your prescriptions

Upon graduating high school, I got a full scholarship to the prestigious St John's University. After a few short and painful years as a pharmacy major, I dropped out and was completely lost.

I eventually attended three other schools before landing at Queens College, where I got my degree in Graphic Design.

Just your average design team

Let the games begin

I started working all around New York City - from advertising agencies to tech startups. Along the way, I've had the privilege of collaborating with brilliant people in healthcare, e-commerce, sports, venture capital, and more.

It’s been a journey and I wouldn’t change (most of) it.

Probably in a meeting that could have been an email

Full circle

My wife and I now reside in Queens - in a home that happens to be less than a mile from where my parents first lived when they came to America.


We also have four acres of land in the Hudson Valley, where we built a yurt with our friends during the pandemic (yes, really). I love my life - thanks for reading this far.
