I’m driven to design products that enable a sense of well-being.

Hi there. I am Zaq, a remote Product Designer. Currently a product designer at the City of Orange, building a real estate planning & execution SaaS.

I'm deeply passionate about projects that leverage technologies to shape our sense of wellbeing — so far, I've used this passion to solve problems in healthcare, relationships, education and eCommerce.

I also love giving back and sharing what I know. For that reason, I work with CareerFoundry, where I help students learn about design. I see teaching as a two-way process in offering guidance while broadening my perspectives through the curiosity of others.

My mantra in life — to uplift others higher than myself.

How I got into Design

I chose product design as my path because I realized it was a position where I could leverage the full breadth of my skills. Derived from a melting pot of experiences in marketing, operations, coaching and fabrication turned out to be an ideal mix for forging products and experiences that support people (and businesses).

Out in the Wild

When I’m not designing products, you can find me out on the trails, instigating acro, yoga and movement events, or absorbed in a good DIY project at home. I’m a big believer of creating experiences through adventure, community and experiments — always seeking new ways to learn, integrate, and evolve in all aspects of being alive.
