At Productbox, I design end-to-end experiences for web, mobile and admin products, from research and information architecture through prototypes and developer-ready handoff. I also build and maintain scalable design systems and support implementation.

For meraID, Pakistan’s first e-identity platform, I designed an operator console for relying-party monitoring, KYC audit trails, data-change requests and lost-device handling. My work also includes a live B2B wholesale marketplace, a school management system, and healthcare and career-guidance products.
