Hi, I'm Rakibul Islam

I got into design because I kept noticing how often technology makes people feel stupid, and that bothered me. Six years and a dozen SaaS products later, that feeling still drives how I work.

I got into design because I kept noticing how often technology makes people feel stupid, and that bothered me. Six years and a dozen SaaS products later, that feeling still drives how I work.

I care deeply about the person actually using the thing I'm designing. But I've also learned that empathy without accountability is just decoration. So whether I'm running user interviews or presenting to stakeholders, I'm always asking the same question, does this decision make the experience better and the product stronger?

Rakibul Islam - UX & Product Designer

Value Propositions

• I turn complexity into clarity. Most of the products I've worked on are data-heavy SaaS tools used by people under pressure. My job is making sure they never have to think twice about what to do next.

• I build design systems that actually get used. At Spacesoft, I cut design-to-dev handoff time by an estimated 35% with a component library that the engineering team could trust. Good systems don't just speed things up, they remove the friction that kills momentum.

• I design for retention, not just acquisition. Landing pages and onboarding flows I've worked on have contributed to measurable improvements in free-trial signups and user retention. I care about what happens after the first click.

• I speak both languages; user and stakeholder. I can sit in a user interview in the morning and present findings to a product team in the afternoon. Design decisions in my work always trace back to either a user insight or a business metric, ideally both.

Design Process

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that there is no "one-size-fits-all" UX process. Every project is uniquely challenging, every team has its quirks, and every client brings a different flavor of complexity. My role is to navigate that chaos using a proven toolkit to ship products people actually love.

My approach is simple: I advocate for real humans over just stakeholders. I focus on clear communication, defining the right problems, and synthesizing data into actionable insights. I believe in involving cross-functional teams early, prototyping rapidly in Figma, Sketch or Framer, testing with actual users, and iterating constantly to hit business goals.
