Welcome To
MY WORLD
HAQUE
I'm Nafees, a product designer who fell into this career sideways. Started studying Computer Science, spent time in an HCI lab, tried product management, then UX research, and somewhere along the way realised I wanted to be the person actually designing the thing.
01
I DESIGN
Digital or physical, I design because I want to make things that actually exist in the world. Case in point: I designed and 3D printed these suglasses myself.
02
I CODE
Learning to code in college gave me a way to prototype my own ideas and see them work. It's become one of my favorite tools for turning concepts into something real.
03
I CAPTURE
Photography is my escape, but it's also changed how I see composition, balance, and detail. That perspective shows up in everything I design.
My
WORK
Featured
Project 01
Picture Mario Kart, but the track is the entire planet. Introducing Google Earth Kart, A fully web-based multiplayer racing game where the Entire world is literally your playground.
Project 02
NTR-AR(pronounced like Interior) is a spatial planning mobile application that enables users to design their living spaces using Augmented Reality. Originally built as a functional iOS prototype during a 36 hour hackathon, I revisited the project to perform a thorough UX overhaul.

ABOUT ME
Officially, it's Nafees-ul Haque but please call me Nafees.
British-Bangladeshi, London-born, Nashville-based. I'm a product designer who's been obsessed with how things look and work ever since I played Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja on my uncle's HTC Desire at age 9.
Studied Computer Science at Vanderbilt University with the plan to work in tech without really knowing where it would lead. It was working in an HCI research lab, interning as a product manager, and then as a UX researcher that made me realize product design was what I actually wanted to do.
I've also dabbled in photography (even had work shown in one of Europe's biggest galleries). Between that, the research, and the internships, I've learned to think about design from a bunch of different angles.
