Mohammed Umer Ashik, Product Designer. Open to Design Roles.
Product designer. Founding designer at hiRobin, senior designer at Convin, and maker of two shipped products.
I move between 0-to-1 execution and platform-level systems. As founding designer at hiRobin, I built onboarding, growth, and monetization from scratch. At Convin, I designed the logic layer three products now run on. Outside of work, I've shipped two products entirely on my own: A Reason to Stop, a curated London guide with mixed-mode routing, live on the App Store, and Hey Steph, a solo-built macOS voice assistant.
A curated guide to worthwhile stops across London, with true mixed-mode routing (walk, tube and bus in one route) and in-app navigation.

Ashik has a rare ability to balance strong design craft with deep product thinking, approaching problems with a user-first mindset while understanding business goals and long-term strategy.
He didn't just teach me design, he taught me how to think through problems and carry myself with confidence. That's rare in an early mentor.
He explains complex concepts with practical examples that make design decisions easy to understand and apply. A skilled and reliable mentor who enables teams to grow with clarity.
My strongest work comes from pushing back on assumptions, not agreeing with them.
Outside of work, I'm usually traveling, behind a camera, or out on a paintball field. Photography and paintball scratch the same itch as design: read the situation fast, commit, adjust.
