For over 15 years, I have focused on designing experiences that are meaningful, impactful, accessible, and beautiful.

I've shipped products used by millions around the world — across industries like healthcare, sports, and e-commerce.

In recent years I've worked in leadership — building design teams on the principles of empathy, trust, and empowerment.

Fashion is part of my DNA

My parents came to New York from Bangladesh. Through years of hard work and sacrifice, they raised four children in Rego Park, Queens.

Their resiliency is ingrained in me and a huge part of my success in life. I owe it all to them (just ask my therapist).

As a kid, I was obsessed with art — constantly drawing in the blank pages of books, at times rendering them unreadable.

I ended up in going to three other schools before landing at Queens College, where I got my degree in Graphic Design.

Confidence level: High. SAT scores: Not so much

Just your average design team

I began working all around New York City; advertising agencies, tech startups, freelance, etc. During that time, I was lucky to meet incredibly smart people in healthcare, e-commerce, sports, venture capital, and everything in between.


It’s been a journey and I wouldn’t change (most of) it.

My wife and I split our time between our home in Queens and four acres of land in upstate New York — where we built a yurt with our friends during the pandemic (yes, really).


I love my life - thanks for reading this far.

All fun and games until it's time to shovel
