Hi, I’m MirRezwan Navid
My first interface was built in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I grew up in Dhaka, and I’ve been designing interfaces long before I knew that “product design” was a job.
Around fourth grade I saw an iPhone for the first time and became obsessed with the idea that anyone could make the things living inside that screen. I started sketching my own apps in school notebooks, imagining what the icons would look like, what happened after you tapped something, and how I would design them differently.
I didn’t know any design tools, so my first actual interfaces were built in Microsoft PowerPoint. Boxes, gradients, buttons, transitions, whatever I could use to get an idea out of my head and onto a screen.
What stayed with me wasn’t the tool. It was the feeling of taking something imaginary, giving it structure, and making another person able to see what I was thinking.
Eventually I learned the proper tools. Then UX. Then product strategy. Then systems, code and AI. But in a strange way, I’m still doing the same thing I was doing in those notebooks: trying to understand how something should work, then finding the clearest way to make it real.
How I Think
understand people at a deeper level
The best product decisions come from understanding behavior, context, motivation, and what people actually need, not just what they say they want.
Outside Work
I travel, photograph, make music and spend an unreasonable amount of time noticing small details.
Those things probably influence my work more than any design framework does. They force me to observe people, environments, rhythm, culture and the things we normally stop paying attention to.
And that, more than anything, is what I try to bring into the products I build.
