Bringing clarity to property referrals
Rethinking the agent referral journey, bringing together fragmented workflows into a clearer, more connected product experience.
Hey, I’m Taj.
I’m a product designer who grew up in Belfast and now lives in Dubai. I work across design and code to turn complex problems into something useful.

What I doFrom early ideas to the finer details
Product design
From research to the finished flow, making complicated things feel simple.
0→1 products
Taking new products from the first concept to something people can use.
Design systems
Foundations, components and patterns that make the next piece of work easier, in Figma and in React.
Prototyping & code
Working prototypes in React and small apps in SwiftUI, to see how an idea feels before it’s built.
Things I’m playing with4 experiments
Wee Cam
SwiftUI · AVFoundation · Core Image
A playful instant camera. Take a photo, watch the print emerge, then let it slowly develop in a digital darkroom.
Rewind
SwiftUI · RealityKit
Three cassette tapes to browse, tilt and flip. Each side reveals a short memory as the reels turn.
Pocket Trainer
SwiftUI · RealityKit · SceneKit
Swipe through Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, tap a cartridge to explore it, then rotate and flip it in 3D.
Wee Dice
SwiftUI · RealityKit
A 3D die you tap or fling to roll. It tumbles, squashes and bounces into place, and you can pick its colour and finish.
Thinking out loud
Why I built my own prototype viewer
An experiment with Figma, Claude Code and a different way of exploring product experiences.
AI made building fun again
From Angelfire fan sites to a Pokédex app I built without writing any SwiftUI: how I got the urge to make things back.
Making things work. Making things beautiful.
Design craft, building products and why I think we need both.
