The work.

Five case studies, spanning design and growth.

How I work.

Four steps, repeated on every project — from a first-week audit to a growth strategy that ships.

Discover

I run continuous discovery: personas, affinity mapping, and opportunity solution trees, to understand what's actually broken before touching a single screen.

Design

I follow the Double Diamond in practice: wireframes, prototypes, and real user testing — validating a direction before it ships, not after.

Ship & measure

I ship every design with a way to measure it — A/B tests, real analytics, real usage data. If it doesn't move a number, it isn't done.

Grow

Once something works, I build the CRM lifecycle and growth strategy to scale it — the same instinct that took FITT Meals from a redesign to a 30% YoY growth engine.

What makes me different?

Not a rhetorical question — three real, verifiable differences.

Design and growth

Most people own one side of the funnel. I've run both — the redesign, and the growth strategy that followed it, at the same company.

Process, not guesswork

I run continuous discovery and the Double Diamond framework on every project, validating with real users before anything ships.

Numbers to prove it

146% conversion. 400% social growth. 60% user acquisition. Every case study I've shipped ends with a real result, not a vague claim.

What people say.

Feedback from people I've worked with directly.

I had the pleasure of managing Hafsah during her time as a Product Designer at Kahunas, and I can confidently say she was an extremely valuable member of the team. Hafsah consistently demonstrated a strong ability to translate complex product requirements into intuitive, user-friendly designs.

During her 9-month tenure as a CX/UX designer in my team, Hafsah consistently impressed with her expertise and autonomy. Her critical thinking and problem-solving skills shone through in every project, particularly when she managed the implementation of an animated dashboard with a third-party service provider.

Hafsah is a brilliant product manager. Relentless is the right word. In the short time of our work together, I can tell that she knows her users well. She is quick to act, usually one step ahead. She is passionate about building the right products that the user didn't know they needed. I highly recommend Hafsah. I would love to work with her again.
