NayaPay

2022 - Present


Pakistan's No.1 Fintech with more than 10m+ users


NayaPay is an e-wallet for all your everyday payments powered by VISA. I joined the company in early 2022 as the founding member of the design team. I'm leading designing features to dev handoff in these three years.

Most recently I led the design on NayaPay's iOS app that we launched last year also our new Send Money & International Remittances earlier this year.

NayaPay Design System


I spearheaded the addition of consumer design system consisting of more than 2000+ components, design tokens, local and global variables with properties.

Design tokenization being the later part introduced recently with it's applicability of design documentation plus development handoff.

Typography, Color & Spacing tokens


Some key elements of the design system include variables with different modes, such as Light and Dark, all of which are custom and interchangeable. Typography and color variables are grouped into four modes.

Confidential


Due to my work at NayaPay being confidential, I can't share more of it publicly, but I'm happy to walk you through it over a personal video call or meeting.

Square

2021 - 2022


Powering businesses all over the world


More than four million sellers* run on Square, the only platform of its kind designed for solo entrepreneurs and the largest international chains.

Square is the largest business technology platform serving all kinds of businesses. The Square operating system allows business owners to sell anywhere, work more efficiently, manage inventory, communicate with customers, book appointments, course meals, order online, and so much more. These tools unlock endless possibilities and countless opportunities for any operation from global chains to mom-and-pop shops.

Square Savings


Along with a product manager and two product designers we worked on the fully optimized experience for Square Savings from ground up UX to shipping it off within a span of 12 months.

To ship features with a high level of polish, I worked closely with other disciplines such as research, engineering, and product management. Besides feature UI work, I led multiple design explorations. Our team consisted of an EM, four frontend developers, and me as the team lead and designer. Together, we planned, prototyped, and implemented the roadmap for Square Savings. It now has 1B+ holdings with more than 65mil customers.

In total, I spent 1.5 years working at Square. During this time, I saw the company grow to over a hundred people. I presented my work at board meetings, design reviews, and in front of our users. I designed features, helped them evolve over time, and also had to kill some again. Working at Square made me deeply appreciate how enjoyable it is to design and build software with others who love software and value good design.
