Original → revised navigation. Small, separate test groups; directional findings, not a measured production lift.
A little background
I’m Fahad, a product designer with a background in UX and computer science.
At Grand Erie, I worked with small business owners to understand how they find help, then helped bring the toolkit to the website. At Hack the North, I formed our team and led MedBot’s product experience while writing the front end.
I’m now studying Management Sciences in Waterloo’s Faculty of Engineering, adding quantitative analysis and operations to my design practice. I enjoy work that needs both a careful research question and someone willing to get into the code.
