As Head of Product Design, Sheik led the redesign of our entire product. The result was a platform customers repeatedly told us was easy to use and understand, and clearly ahead of our competitors. He also led the implementation of our design system, which made it significantly faster for our developers to build and ship. I worked with Sheik for 3.5 years at Mobal, first as a colleague and later as his team lead.
Sheik was one of the most forward-thinking people on our team when it came to AI. He built Claude into his everyday design workflow, especially with Figma, and it made his already fast output even faster. Designers who can actually put AI to work like this are rare, and it showed in his results.
Beyond that, he’s one of the easiest people I’ve collaborated with: low ego, responsive, and great company in the team. I’d gladly work with him again. Any team would be lucky to have him.
I design products and measure what changes.
15+ years taking B2B software from first ideas through launch and growth. I lead discovery, work through the interactions, and follow what changes after release.
My work spans product strategy, interaction design and design systems, with a recent focus on agentic AI experiences.
Most recently, I led product design at Mobal. Previously, I worked at Smartly.io, Microsoft, Freshworks, and Zoho.
I’m open to hands-on Staff and Principal Product Designer roles where I own hard problems end to end. Helsinki or remote.
Let’s talkSelected work
How I work.
I enjoy working through complicated product problems with a team. I get into the customer needs, business constraints and edge cases, then work out how the interface should behave.
At Smartly.io, I helped performance marketing teams simplify paid social workflows. At Microsoft, I contributed to Office Lens, M365 and Teams. At Freshworks and Zoho, I redesigned products and built B2B experiences from scratch.
