Hey, I'm Mehedi

How I got here

I lead design teams, build products for startups, and teach designers. This is how I got here.

I grew up in Jessore, Bangladesh. Started with Fiverr gigs in 2016, no mentor, no plan. Ten years later I lead design across three companies and published the country's first UX book in Bangla.

I care about two things: building products that ship, and making sure the next generation of Bangladeshi designers doesn't have to figure it all out alone.

What I believe

01

Lead by building

I don't believe in design leadership that stays in meetings. I build alongside my team. At MoveOn, I built the design system from scratch. At Orviko, I lead designers while still shipping work. The best way to earn trust is to do the work.

02

Teach in your own language

Most design resources are in English. For designers in Bangladesh, that's a barrier. I wrote the first Bangla UX book, ran affordable workshops, and create content in Bangla. Design education shouldn't have a language tax.

03

Ship with the team, not for them

I've been inside startups since 2018. I don't hand off mockups and disappear. I sit with engineers, adjust scope when timelines shift, and stay until the product ships.

People I've worked with, in their own words

He's one of the best designers I've ever worked alongside.

Mehedi is one of the most talented and dedicated designers I've had the privilege to work with. Our time collaborating on Pencil UI was truly memorable — a challenging project where his problem-solving mindset and strategic approach made a real impact. He doesn't shy away from obstacles but turns them into opportunities to create exceptional solutions. Mehedi's ability to blend creativity with practicality is remarkable, and his drive to achieve goals is unmatched. Working with him was a golden experience, and I can confidently say he's one of the best designers I've ever worked alongside.
