Himaad Riaz, product designer in Dallas

Before I design, ask the users, go on visits, read the data, map journeys, test it early.

I start with research, analytics and usage data, then design products that make complex things simple and measurably better.

Selected work

Five problems, each one led by the people living with it. Every card opens the full story: research, prototypes, feedback and results.

Good work was getting lost between updates.

AI, in context.insight where the work happens

Good designstarts beforethe first screen.

I listen to the people living with the problem, prototype early with AI, and keep refining with them until it feels obvious.

How a draft becomes real.

The same loop shaped every project here, and this site too. Swipe through it.

Research

Listen

Start with the people living with the problem. Interviews, shadowing and data show where the effort and doubt really are.

Making

Prototype early

I use AI to build working prototypes early, so people react to something real instead of a description of it.

Making

Refine with people

Test it, watch closely, and change it. Feedback decides what the next version becomes.

Tools in rotation.

A few trusted tools and plenty of room to experiment. I pick whichever one answers the question fastest.

  • FigmaFlows & interface design
  • FramerBring a page to life
  • Claude CodeWorking prototypes
  • CursorDesign in code
  • GitHubVersion & collaborate
  • MazeTest with people
  • MiroMap the journey
  • ChatGPTQuestion & develop
  • NotionDocument decisions

The person behind the work

A thinker, a maker,
still curious.

I make things early enough that we can still change our minds, and leave room for feedback to change the idea completely.
