Hello there, I’m Malik.
A User Experience Designer.
I help companies build more accessible, human optimized and intuitive digital products and services based on a better understanding of user behavior.
My Design Philosophy
My motto has always been “design should work for the people who will experience it”. My philosophy begins and ends with that. I help amazing teams build brands, websites and apps that drive growth & satisfaction – leveraging data and complex ideas into innovative concepts that inspire customers and motivate business results.
Lifelong learner
Study visual trends and changes in technology and keep up with thought leaders. Read articles that can help build a well of inspiration.
Do your homework
First understand your client or company’s business model then know it’s users/customers. Where is the most friction? What are the pain points users have and what would solve them? How do we solve their pain points and meet business goals?
Less is more
Creating something simple is always challenging work. Remembering less is more is always a good approach to grappling with complexity. The best user interfaces are the ones you barely notice.
Check egos at the door
Interactive prototyping and user-testing helps proof designs quickly and stress test them under near real conditions. Listen to people and stick to the features they get.
Project Management
Keeping things on track helps avoid pitfalls down the road. Getting everyone on the same page and having a single source of truth for project resources keeps teams agile and confident in their approach.
Think holistically
Experiences are meant to be felt and remembered because of delight. Thinking more deeply about users needs and mental models opens more realistic insights.
