About me
I'm a product designer from Bangladesh. These days that means Co-Founder and Lead Product Designer at Panze, building a philosophy of my own called Rakibulism into how the studio actually works — not just a mood board line.
Before any of that, I grew up in a small village where money was never a given. I drove a rickshaw and worked a shopping-mall job to help keep the house running, long before I knew what a wireframe was.
What I had instead was a notebook. I filled it — sketches, and over a thousand poems — not because I was trying to become anything, just because it was the only way I had to process what I was watching people do around me. Turns out that's most of what design actually is.
I never went through formal design school. I taught myself by paying attention — to behavior, to friction, to the small moment someone gets confused or delighted — and by building things to fix whatever was annoying me that week.
That habit is Panze now: Ticky (a ticket-management dashboard), Alpe (a B2B marketplace for oil suppliers and buyers), Alyze (a real-time analytics dashboard) — plus Seenframes, a Framer template store, and Hello Designers, a community I run for people doing this work alongside me.
None of that is the whole story, though. Shelleye, Seen Design Lab, Edaca, Flowlyze — all of them failed before Panze held. I'd rather tell you that straight than pretend the path was a clean line.
