About me

Questions I get asked, answered.

I’m Mo, a product designer. Usually I’m the one asking the questions. Here are the ones people ask me.

  • Calicut, India
  • 8 years in
  • Figma → code

01 · Asked often

  1. You studied computer science. Why design?

    Code showed me how things work. Design let me ask why they work that way for the people using them. I kept picking the second question.

  2. Almost eight years at one company. Why stay?

    Pickyourtrail kept changing under me. First consumer travel, then Fluid, our corporate travel platform. Same desk, new problems. If it shipped, I probably touched it.

  3. Why code now?

    A picture of a button was never the real handoff. With Claude Code I build the working prototype myself, and I want to know how it works inside, not just how it looks.

  4. What are you like to work with?

    Lots of questions, early. I’d rather find the real brief in week one than redesign in week six.

  5. What are you bad at?

    [Your honest answer, in one or two lines.]
