hi stranger, the design side.

Started in design. Never stopped.

Every idea of mine gets a name and a brand before I build it. I design the interface, the website, and often the launch film. It started with no budget and a copy of Photoshop.

Section AWhere it started

No budget. So I opened Photoshop.

Flappy Returns, my first published game
Flappy Returns, 2015. My first published game. every pixel, mine.

No budget. So I opened Photoshop. A student trip company at NUST led to freelance gigs, then a design agency contract.

Then I built what I designed: Flappy Returns, my first published game, built on a physics engine. Since then the design and the code have usually been the same job.

Section FPhotography & film

Where the taste comes from.

Photography with my own lettering, drone footage, and the launch films.

I shoot photo and video, fly a drone and edit everything myself. That’s why Yolk and NPC Filter both launched with a film.

Section GDesign that ships

From the interface to the web app.

The CodeJunkie team on a day out
CodeJunkie, a day away from our desks.

At CodeJunkie, the company I co-founded and ran as CTO, I trained our designers and developers as the team grew to 25.

My computer science background let me take projects from interface design into full web apps, for startups and for corporate clients, including banks in the UAE and Oman.

Stay close.

Building something and stuck? I’m happy to think it through with you.
