I’m a designer who uses his 🎨 creativity, 🗣️ talkative nature, and 😎 laid back attitude to help bridge the tech user gap.
“You never want to focus on solving one or two things when it comes to design. Solve any and all problems you come across. Make it nice, or make it twice.”
- A cool person
I create digital products and websites tailored for startups, brands, and enterprises with innovative project concepts
I began my design journey way back in 2008 when younger, and oh so much stupider, me discovered a great tool called Visual Basic. I was amazed as to how much you could make using this tool, and I did not hold myself back. I made programs like calculators, text-to-binary converters, web browsers, and on one occasion an operating system concept.
Throughout the years, I've only been growing my skills and design methodologies. Each time I work on something, I always undertake meticulous research. Having had a ton of experience helping out friends and family with computers and all, you naturally start understanding what good and bad design looks like.
I've developed a great, though sometimes extremely annoying, eye for sharp attention to detail. It's great for finding design flaws quickly and having them fixed, but can get annoying for everyday tasks. I like to tell people I'm not a perfectionist, but deep down inside I can't help but let little annoying design flaws get away from me and into the hands of users. The whole point of a product/UX designer is to solve users' paint points. There is no 'partially' in front of the word solve in the previous statement.
Being a believer in teamwork and communication has also vastly helped me, and other teams I have worked with in the past. By prioritizing close collaboration with collegues and developers, you can easily ensure how project objectives can be met. When I design I go by two quotes. "Make it nice, or make it twice" and "Feedback is the backbone to any great design".
I’m also a passionate car enthusiast with a love for driving
Ever since I was young, I've been all about cars. It all kicked off when my old man took me to this rad car show when I was just four. Surrounded by all that shiny metal, I was hooked. Fast forward, and my passion for cars has only grown. You'll catch me flipping through car mags, geeking out over specs, and dreaming big about my own garage. Now, I've turned that childhood love into reality with my very own VW MK8 GTI. That first car show lit a fire in me that's burning bright today and I intend on making the dream of owning a 911 GT3 one day a reality.
Clients I’ve worked with in the past with tremendous results
I've had the chance to collaborate with some major players in the financial, education, gaming, and technology industries. While much of my work is bound by confidentiality agreements or falls into the realm of the mundane, I'm not shy about hinting at the big names I've been associated with to suggest that I've got some serious chops.

“Saad Mirza is a professional and creative designer who produced exactly what we needed for our digital project - and then some! He was diligent in understanding the fundamental requirements of the search/catalog interface we wanted, but then went the extra step to really think through how different audiences would engage with it - both experts and new visitors. The result is that we don’t simply have a standard search interface, but something intuitive and innovative that integrates beautifully with the rest of the website. Saad’s conscientiousness, precision, and clear communication throughout the entire process made for an easy and rewarding experience. We look forward to working with him again!”

“Saad Mirza came into the Sharing Stories project at a critical time in its development. An earlier graphic designer had already created the look for the project, but there were additional important pages and collateral not yet designed. Saad took the established vision and created the new designs. His work was always professional, smart, and thoughtful. We would not be where we are today with the project without his immense talents.”

His contributions significantly enhanced the aesthetic appeal of our platform. Beyond his technical skills, Saad's collaborative spirit and positive attitude made him a beloved team member. He has the rare ability to inspire those around him, fostering a creative and productive work environment that benefits everyone involved.
