Hi, I’m Kazi Athar — a UI/UX/Product Designer with 5+ years of experience designing user-focused digital products for startups, SaaS platforms, and e-commerce.

My story..

With a background in Environmental Science and sustainability, I bring an impact-driven approach to design, blending empathy, research, and strategy to create intuitive, conversion-focused experiences.

I’ve worked with companies like CareerFoundry, Parkhound, and Dash of CX, and mentored 200+ aspiring designers at CareerFoundry. When I’m not designing, I share UX/UI tips and Figma tutorials on my YouTube channel, Creative Kazi.

My Values ☕️

Respect

I welcome people from all walks of life with an open mind and heart. 👍

Honesty

I admire open and honest people that can give feedback in a professional and constructive way. 🙌

Good humor

Life isn’t always about fun and games… but sometimes it is! 🥳

What people say about me…

With Kazi’s input, my UX & CRO Audits are even more rounded and thorough, and my clients are always delighted with the end product. I also count on Kazi to support me on extra tasks that I don’t have time for, such as mockups, designs, and uncovering and storing research insights into a purpose-built research hub in AirTable.

Kazi reviewed our landing page and platform, providing valuable insights on usability and layout. His coding skills give him a developer’s perspective, making his design recommendations even stronger. Beyond design work, he’s active in community events — in 2019, we invited him to speak on a panel about designers’ employability in Helsinki.
