Proof of Experience

Freelance Product Designer

Nizam's Fragrances · May 2026 – Present

  • Turned the founder's request for an honest website review into a 19-page UX audit, then proposed a structured redesign that he took forward in June 2026.
  • Ran a founder questionnaire and a customer questionnaire with 6 fragrance buyers, then affinity-mapped the responses into 9 clusters.
  • Split my own hypothesis ("the site looks untrustworthy") into 3 testable claims: research supported 1 but not the other 2, and all 3 "no" answers came down to positioning, not visual polish.
  • Proposing redesign directions to the founder, each traced to research: visible heritage, reviews people can verify, clearer scent guidance and a lower-risk first purchase.

Concept projects and portfolio

Self-directed Design Practice · Sep 2023 – Present

  • Designing a pharmacy management concept for a family-run medical shop across 5 user roles (pharmacist, cashier, manager, owner, doctor), informed by conversations with the owner and staff.
  • Scoped GST billing, prescription handling, expiry and batch tracking, and threshold-based low-stock alerts.
  • Built my portfolio in Framer; use Claude to speed up synthesis while keeping every decision traced to evidence.
