Hi, I’m Az.

I’ve spent 20 years or so helping teams to make better products and services that move people forward.

I go beyond the surface + get to the heart of things. To design with care. To help you focus on what really matters.

Made for people. Made with Mahi.

  • Navigating complexity. Faster decisions + building for growth

    “Under tight timelines and complex stakeholder needs, Az made the design process effortless. He quickly grasped our vision, turning complex business requirements into a solution that truly delivered.

    His structured approach and clear communication kept us aligned every step of the way, making stakeholder management easy. It helped us move fast, avoid surprises, and stay in control. The discovery process gave us clarity, challenged our assumptions, and made decision-making so much easier.

    And the final design system? It set us up to scale with confidence. Working with Az wasn’t just about delivering a great product—it set us up for long-term success.”

    – Kellie, Callaghan Innovation

  • From big AI vision to clear plan + prototype

    “Az helped me cut through the noise & get clear on my AI education app for Stanford Business School.

    As a solo founder, I needed direction, a mapped-out customer journey & a prototype to market test with.

    He made the process simple & collaborative, giving me the clarity & confidence to move forward.”

    Sammy, Founder & PHD Student

  • From idea to action. Setting founders up for success

He made the entire process feel effortless, bringing a wealth of experience and insight to transform abstract ideas into compelling, actionable solutions.

    He was flexible, transparent, and always went the extra mile to make sure the founder was fully prepared to take the next step. His work was thoughtful, professional, and exactly what we’d envisioned. Working with him was an absolute pleasure.”

    – Adam, Product Manager

  • Transforming our product experience. Effortlessly

    “Az just gets it.

    He took something complex & made it effortless. Reducing steps, simplifying workflows, & keeping everything focused on the user.

    No fluff, no wasted steps. Just a smooth, intuitive experience that works.

    He is professional without being pushy. Easy to work with, always moving things forward, & making sure the customer experience comes first. Our new interface speaks for itself. We put it in front of someone &  they get it instantly. 

    That’s the power of simplicity.

    A smart investment that delivered real results. If you want a product that’s seamless and easy to use, work with Az.”
