About me

Uzair Riaz

How I Got Here

I studied Computer Science and started designing for freelance clients during university, so I design with the build in mind and code a lot of what I design, this site included. Since then I’ve worked across client services at Tkxel, EdTech at Educative and AI products at Mindhyve, partnering with CEOs, CTOs and product teams on complex problems with many stakeholders.

How I Work

I make design decisions with evidence: user interviews, usability sessions, and secondary research when it helps. I agree the problem with product and engineering, test before anything ships, and after launch measure what matters to both users and the business.

Outside Work

Football, table tennis, books and articles, travel, and time with friends and family. That’s how I reset.

Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of expertise in user research and design, building successful user-centered products.

Work Experience

Career Growth

I began my career as a UI/UX Designer in a fast-paced services environment, collaborating with international clients and building a strong foundation in user-centered design, visual clarity, and communication. I then evolved into a Product Designer, taking ownership of end-to-end product journeys, shaping system experiences, and aligning design decisions with business outcomes.

Now, as a Senior UI/UX Designer at Cogent Labs, I work at the intersection of design, AI and engineering, building AI-to-design workflows from zero to one and taking products from first concept to tested, dev-ready builds, shipped with Claude Code.
