Product Designer & Software Engineer

Design
that feels
right.

Hi, I'm Fatima — a software engineer who designs. 6 national hackathon placements in UI/UX, a UX internship at The Nexen Studio, and a genuine belief that good design has to be buildable.

About Me

Engineer by training,
designer by drive.

I got into design through hackathons, and I got serious about it fast. Six national placements later, I had built a body of work that spoke for itself — full hi-fi prototypes, real problem statements, real competition.

Being a software engineer changes how I design. I know what a rerender costs. I understand how an API response shapes a screen. Every design decision I make accounts for how it will actually be built.

I graduated with a degree in Software Engineering from PUCIT, Lahore. I bring both sides of the product to every room I'm in.

🎓

Software Engineering @ PUCIT

Lahore, Pakistan. The technical foundation that makes my design decisions grounded and buildable.

🏆

6 National Hackathon Placements

Wins and runner-up finishes across Pakistan's top university tech competitions, all in UI/UX.

💼

UX Designer Intern at The Nexen Studio

Designed and delivered landing pages, worked closely with developers, and contributed to live client projects.

Skills & Tools

What I work
with.

I move fast in Figma, think in systems, and because I'm also an engineer, I know when a design decision will cost three sprints to implement.

🎨

Figma

Primary design tool — components, auto-layout, prototyping, design systems

🔬

User Research

Problem framing, user flows, pain point mapping, competitive analysis

📱

Mobile-First Design

iOS and Android patterns, responsive layouts, touch interaction design

⚡

Rapid Prototyping

Hackathon-trained — full hi-fi prototypes under pressure in 8-hour sprints

🧩

Design Systems

Color tokens, typography scales, component libraries, spacing systems

💻

HTML / CSS / JS

I can read and write front-end code — design handoffs I give actually work

🤖

AI-Assisted Design

ChatGPT, Claude, and generative tools for faster ideation and content

🗺️

Information Architecture

User flows, sitemap design, navigation systems, content hierarchy

Wireframing Hi-Fi Prototyping Interaction Design Visual Hierarchy Typography Color Theory Usability Heuristics Design Critique Accessibility Onboarding Flows

Where I've
worked.

2024 – 2025

UX Designer Intern

The Nexen Studio — Remote, Dubai

Designed and delivered 20+ landing pages across 6 client projects, from initial wireframes to developer-ready handoffs. Collaborated closely with the development team across multiple live products, aligning design decisions with technical constraints. Contributed to improving client engagement metrics through cleaner information architecture and stronger visual hierarchy.

Internship · UI/UX

2022 – 2025

Competitive UI/UX Designer

National University Hackathons — Pakistan

Earned 6 national placements across Pakistan's top university tech competitions, all in the UI/UX track. Each project was built from scratch within an 8-hour sprint — problem research, user flows, wireframes, full hi-fi screens, and a live prototype ready for presentation. Also received a Letter of Appreciation from PUCIT for outstanding design work.

2022 – 2026

Software Engineering Student

PUCIT — Lahore, Pakistan

Bachelor's in Software Engineering. The technical background behind every design decision — understanding systems, data structures, and how interfaces actually get built gives me a different perspective in the room.

Why I actually
love this.

🧩

Every screen is a puzzle

I love the constraint. You have limited space, a distracted user, and a business goal that needs to happen in three taps. That tension is exactly where good design lives.

🤝

The most honest feedback loop

You ship something and you immediately know if it worked. Users don't lie with their behavior. That directness is addictive once you've experienced it in a hackathon setting.

⚡

Engineering + design is a superpower

Most designers don't know what a rerender costs. Most engineers don't think about cognitive load. Being both means I never design something that can't be built — and I never build something that shouldn't exist.
