Me, Myself and I
Hi, I am Mahdi. Senior Product Designer & Design Engineer for AI, SaaS, EdTech & Web3
I'm Mahdi, a senior product designer and design engineer. At GenAI.Works, the world's largest AI community, I co-designed our Academy platform 0-to-1 in Figma and co-built its front end with Claude Code. The launch cleared $12K against a $10K target with no paid acquisition, and it now has 37,000 registered students.
I also lead design on the marketing and sponsored programs that Nvidia, Google, IBM, Oracle and ElevenLabs run across our 14M+ member community.
Before this I was the only designer on Leveraged Mining, a compliance-first Bitcoin mining portal built around IRS material participation rules. Client portal, admin system, 0-to-1 across MVP and V1, all of it. Before that I designed through Baims's $4.4M Series A as one of two product designers on an edtech platform that grew 5x in users.
8 years in, I've designed across AI, web3, edtech, and saas. Different sectors, same job every time: make something complicated feel clear enough to trust. I believe design earns its keep by being useful and honest before it's beautiful.

"There are so many ways that I could recommend Mahdi. Of course, his creative work is rigorous, well researched, uniquely positioned, and features great attention to detail and understanding of audience needs. This is the cornerstone of every good designer that I've ever worked with. Mahdi understands this instinctively. But more than that: Mahdi is a kind, respectful, endlessly good-natured and patient person that makes coming to work a joy. It's a very strong combination. I feel lucky to have worked alongside him."
