My journey into the world of design began long before I held the title of Product Design Lead at Elegant Themes Inc. Growing up in Sylhet, Bangladesh, I was always curious about how technology and creativity intersected to solve real-world problems. My love for design wasn’t born from formal training at first, but from an innate desire to improve user experiences and create digital solutions that people truly enjoyed using.

From an early age, I found myself drawn to digital interfaces, fascinated by how intuitive design could make life easier for users. As I began my academic journey, my passion for design started to evolve. I realized that design wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about understanding people, their needs, and how I could use my skills to serve them better through technology.

My career started with small freelance projects, designing websites and branding for clients. It wasn’t always easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. These early projects taught me how to approach design from the perspective of real users, and each piece of feedback helped shape my approach to design. I started seeing design not just as a job but as a powerful tool to solve problems.

My big break came when I joined Elegant Themes Inc. as a Product Designer. At the time, I was still learning, but the opportunity to work on products that would impact so many people pushed me to step up and deliver my best work. I focused on design systems and user interfaces, creating designs that were not only visually appealing but functional and easy to navigate. I quickly realized that design wasn’t just about creating something beautiful—it was about creating something that made the user’s journey smoother.
