Syed Ali
Design engineerThe guy who designs things and brings them to life, cuz why not. Engineering taught me to do things the unconventional way.
[01]It started when i saw some random app banner and just couldn't stop staring at it. Next thing i know i'm making shapes at 2am, fully nerd-sniped.
[02]Second year hit and i realized design ain't just Figma or Canva, it's literally about fixing what's actually broken for people.
[03]Now i just solve problems, build what i design, and yeah, pen and paper still kicks off almost everything.
[04]Not designing? Probably animating something in a café, earphones in, cold coffee on standby.

/About me
Engineering student who somehow landed in design, lol. Product designer, UI/UX guy, design engineer, whatever you wanna call me, i'll answer to it.
Honestly i just like taking an idea and actually shipping it, something people can use for real. Watching a random 2am thought turn into an actual product hits different, way more than it should.
/My Space
So building this portfolio, glued to my desk, earphones in, i randomly got the idea to make my own pet buddy, kinda like Claude's mascot but mine.
There's hidden pet buddy animations scattered across the site too, hover over stuff and you might catch one.
Ngl i wanna make this pet buddy a certified banger. Next version's getting better interactions, more animation, more texture, more feelings, basically bringing it fully alive. Stay tuned :)
