B2B SaaS | Digital Material Library

As a founding product designer, I led the end to end design of a digital material library for a confidential automotive client. From workflow mapping to building the UI component library with Generative AI, the goal was to bring structure, transparency and accountability to a previously fragmented asset workflow.

Bio

Hey there, I'm Danish Malik, a multi-disciplinary designer with over 6 years of experience working across automotive HMI, B2B SaaS, and complex enterprise systems turning ambiguous problems into scalable products that create meaningful impact.

Much of today’s digital design feels generic and competes for attention. I focus on designing product experiences with a distinct character while staying grounded in the right user, business, and system problems.

My work is about finding the right balance between solving core product challenges and creating experiences that feel memorable, intuitive, and purposeful.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me reading, exploring photography and videography, or seeking out new places, stories, and people.

My approach prioritises environment, people, and culture over standardised process. You can not “solve” design as an engineering problem. It involves empathy and genuine care for your customers.

With over 5+ years of experience, I have worked in-house, as a consultant and free-lanced at successful Automotive and non-automotive brands, becoming a designer driven by Craft, Courage, and Compassion.

I recently worked with Interaction design team at Zeekr in defining a scalable, consistent and multimodal framework across different product segments leading to a more unified UX, plus I helped in designing and prototyping tangible and non-tangible interfaces. Besides, I offer mentorship and am certified in web accessibility (WCAG).

Off work, I read and talk on design, enjoy music, create short travel films, and relax by the seaside.
