About

90% of startups fail. Not because of bad code, but because they ship bloated features instead of intuitive experiences. When users drop off after just three days, it’s rarely an engineering problem. It’s a design problem. I’m Shawn. For the past 7+ years, I’ve been a 0-to-1 Product Designer helping founders and tech leaders turn raw ideas into digital products that users actually love. I’ve worked with early-stage startups, scaleups, and enterprises worldwide to help them raise capital, launch faster, and find product-market fit. Apps I’ve designed are now used by millions of people daily. My Philosophy: I believe in rapid iteration and the 90/10 rule. You don't need a complex, over-engineered MVP to win. You need a seamless, user-first experience that solves a real problem from day one. What founders say about my work: "Great UX/UI designers are almost impossible to find. Shawn is that guy. He combines clean design with deep product thinking—a rare mix. He’s been instrumental across several of my projects, from quick iterations to building massive SaaS architecture." – Antoine Hemery "Shawn crafted a web version of our mobile app from scratch, elevating the UI/UX. His meticulous attention to detail and clear communication were crucial." – Jacinto Joao "His astute attention to detail and effort go above and beyond. I could not recommend him enough." – Luke James How we can work together: Full Product Design: Taking your product from a raw idea to a launch-ready, 0-to-1 MVP. UX Audit & Strategy: Finding and fixing the friction points blocking your growth and retention. Ongoing Design Partnership: Iterating, scaling, and growing your product alongside your early users. I don’t just want to take on another project. I want to help your startup win. Send me a DM with "PRODUCT" or just say hi, and let’s talk about your vision.

Career break

Caregiving

Nov 2024Jan 2025 · 2 mos · Narayanganj District, Dhaka

  • After years of building my career with focus and ambition, I made a decision that shifted my priorities in the most meaningful way: I took a break to support my family and embrace the journey of becoming a father for the first time.
  • This time away from work wasn’t just a pause—it was a period of profound growth. Becoming a parent has taught me more about patience, empathy, adaptability, and perspective than any role I’ve held before. It’s reminded me that leadership starts at home and that showing up with intention—whether for a team or a toddler—is what creates lasting impact.
  • As I look ahead, I return with renewed energy, sharper clarity, and a stronger sense of purpose. I’m excited to bring these personal lessons back into my professional life, where I aim to lead with even greater resilience, compassion, and commitment.
  • To those navigating career transitions, whether by choice or circumstance: investing in your personal life is never time lost—it’s often where the most important leadership is learned.
