Hi, I’m Humayun Khan— a versatile product designer and builder with over a decade of experience bridging design, technology, and storytelling to create meaningful digital products.
What I'm Up To
I'm currently looking for my next play, ideally a founding designer role at a startup or a staff/sr. product designer role at a larger company where I get to work on AI products. I'm also open to fractional design lead opportunities.
More recently, I've been tinkering with Cursor and Claude Sonnet 3.5 to code an entire app, the result is a project called Mindscape.
A Decade in Tech
My journey has spanned various roles in tech and product design:
• Founder at QueryCat, which I designed and bootstrapped to $300MRR and 1000+ signups before realizing there wasn't a viable path to PMF.
• Product design consultant through Toptal for startups like ClassDojo and RuthHealth (YC 21) and enterprise companies like Agoro Carbon Alliance, Applied Materials, and Ambry Genetics
• Product Manager at Xello, focusing on career readiness for students
• Design Lead at Roadmunk (acquired by Tempo) and Tiny Hearts (acquired by Shopify)
• Content Marketer at Shopify.
My Toolbox
I thrive at the intersection of design and development. Some of my go-to tools and technologies include:
- Design & Research: Figma, Miro, Dovetail
- Development: Git, Ruby on Rails, React.js, Next.js, TailwindCSS
Let’s Build Something Together
I’m always looking for opportunities to collaborate with like-minded teams and individuals passionate about building impactful products. Whether you’re launching a new idea or looking to grow an existing one, let’s chat.
