Nice to meet you. I am Arif Samad.

A self-taught Product Designer passionate about designing digital experiences that leave a positive impact. I am a native of Karachi, Pakistan, and have a background in Marketing-Management; in which I hold a Masters of Business Administration degree. I started my journey in 1999 at that time I was in Grade 9. I started my design journey as a Macromedia Flash animator, after 3 years of animation I quit, and start learning Graphic and Web Design. Later on I shifted my career to UX and visual design.

My designs have been instrumental in raising a $130.45 million funding for a quick commerce, warehousing, logistics, lastmile startups, and products being used by millions across the globe.

Design is a problem solving activity. As a designer, I fee that the perfect design not only involves visual aesthetics, but even more importantly, an interface that functions well. I enjoy solving complex business problems with delightful and intuitive design solutions based on user needs and business goals.

If you think that I would be a great fit to your team as a freelance/part time/full time designer or if you’re a fellow designer,feel free to contact me via email or LinkedIn. I’m always looking for talented people to work on projects together and to share knowledge related to design.

• Mentorship & Giving Back

  In a bid to give back to the community, I offer my time talking to newcomers in the industry about working in tech and design. During the past 15+ years of working in diverse industries ranging from tiny startups to Enterprise companies I have exposed myself to various challenges involving UX and visual design. Happy to discuss topics like career options, design systems; and feedback on UX, visual design and portfolio creation.
