I'm ready to bring my passion for product design to your team. Whether it's contributing on-site (UK) or remotely, I am flexible for the right opportunity.
Elevate your project with my multi-disciplinary approach and eagerness to collaborate on diverse projects. So, what are you waiting for? Let's bring your ideas to life!
I specialize in tackling applications utilized by millions of users. Therefore, my research, designs, and ideas consistently prioritize the bigger picture.
DATA-DRIVEN DESIGN APPROACH
I rely on data when confronted with tough decisions, be it through product analytics or market research. This ensures a user-centric mindset at all times.
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION
I excel in stakeholder management, having collaborated closely with C-level executives, product, design, engineering, sales, and marketing.
EMBRACE OWNERSHIP IN MY WORK
I embody ownership, taking full responsibility for assigned tasks. Despite working remotely, I align with your company's goals and integrate with your team.
UNDERSTAND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
I have a deep understanding of the product development process, including front-end and backend systems, and effectively manage design dependencies.
ADAPTABILITY TO ENVIRONMENTS
I thrive in dynamic environments, adapting quickly to evolving project requirements and contribute effectively to changing needs, enhancing team efficiency.
What I do beyond design.
When it comes to work, I strive to streamline processes for enhanced efficiency and collaborative success. Here are a few examples of how I do that.
Organizing Design Files
Before starting a project, I establish a file structure to improve team collaboration. I also label my designs with flow headings to streamline the prototyping process.
Fostering Team Collaboration, Communication and Coordination
I streamline team communication and collaboration by managing team group chats, ensuring everyone is aligned on decisions, which helps prevent confusion in the development process.
Managing Tasks
By efficiently tracking tasks through software like Jira, Trello, and MS Excel, I enhance project progress visibility and ensure that project milestones are met timely.
Comprehensive Design Documentation
To facilitate alignment among designers, developers, and stakeholders, my designs are documented meticulously to prevent errors and confusion during the handover process.
Tracking Product Analytics & KPIs
To ensure functional designs, I track user behaviour with tools like CleverTap and define and monitor KPIs in dashboards, including user-stickiness and conversion
Automating Quantitative Data Collection in UX Research
I write custom scripts to retrieve data from APIs to automate redundant data gathering during research.
Highlights
Innovation Excellence Award
The strategy for a project I led proved highly effective in driving revenue growth, adding PKR 4.5M monthly profit through in-app monetisation.
Facilitating Workshops
I've co-led design thinking workshops with stakeholders and led training workshops to onboard team members on products. And I've conducted fortnightly workshops to recommend design decisions from user behaviour data.
Leadership
During my school years, I participated in an international competition hosted by NASA in India called the Asian Regional Space Settlement Design Competition (ARSSDC). My team won the competition and I was awarded for my leadership skills out of 25 individuals.
Publication in ACM Conference
In my university senior year, I was part of a team that published a research paper in the 2021 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. This marked a significant milestone in my academic and research journey. View the publication by clicking here
Thoughts from people I've worked with
Anam T., Product Lead
I have directly managed Mujtaba and seen him grow in his role as a UX researcher and product associate over the year.
He has been an integral part of the go to market product team and among many other achievements he single handedly managed the Clevertap integration project which doubled the app engagement metrics and facilitated monetisation of digital assets adding more than 4M a month in revenue.
Mujtaba has always valued and taken feedback and criticism positively. I have found him to be a self-directed learner who always jumped at opportunities to take more responsibility.
I highly recommend Mujtaba for senior roles and identify him as a top growing talent in the Jugnu Team!
Abad U., Senior Software Engineer
Every time I came to Mujtaba with complex implementation constraints and concerns, he provided thoughtful direction and made sure his guidance led to the best possible outcome.
Hafsah Z., Product Designer
Mujtaba is a very talented individual who has been very hands on in providing his insights and help whenever it was needed.
Babar U., SVP Design
Mujtaba has taken quick strides into the world of product innovation and experience design from initially shadowing experienced consultants to taking up lead roles in designing digital products particularly in the fintech and banking space.
Starting out right after his undergraduate at Systems, I've seen how quickly he learnt and adapted to consulting and working in different challenging client environments.
He is very passionate about his work, takes complete ownership of it and makes sure to articulate his point of view. All in all a solid performer and any product, innovation or CX team would benefit from the immense value that he brings to the table.
Sumama T., UX Designer & Strategist
Mujtaba is a highly skilled and organised person. If I had to describe him in one word I would refer to him as dependable.
I had the pleasure to work with him on multiple projects as a team member and and my experience with him was great.
The way he brings different ideas to life is just amazing. He takes ownership of his work and would be a great addition to any team.
Shakir A., Engineering Lead
I can’t stress enough how well Mujtaba thinks through a problem; His solution strategies are always simple and scalable.
