About
Designer with a build habit.
Hi, I'm Shaahid. The ZX is not silent. I design things, build the tools I wish existed, and I'm on a public mission to ship 100 of them: apps, extensions, sites, whatever the problem needs.
Professionally: I care about clean interfaces, fast load times and actually shipping instead of "still working on it". Unprofessionally: I will redesign your app in my head while you're demoing it. Most of my builds start as a personal annoyance. Some turn out good enough that strangers want them, which is the whole point of this site.
What I do
- Design
- Brand, UI, posters, covers. If it has pixels, I have opinions.
- Build
- Web apps, browser extensions, iOS experiments. Small, fast, finished.
- Ship
- Launches, content, the part where people actually see the thing.
Currently

Hot takes
- If it needs a tutorial, it needs a redesign.
- Done and live beats perfect and in Figma.
- Loading spinners are a cry for help.
- Dark mode is a personality trait. Mine.
- Every tool should do one thing and not be weird about it.
