Designing impactful solutions through ideation, strategy, and research
Hi, I’m Shahria, A Design Strategist With 10+ Years of Experience in The Field
I am a systems thinker and design researcher using AI not to replace human intuition, but to supercharge it — blending tech and empathy to explore the edges of human behavior, uncovering patterns that drive strategic innovation. My approach to research is deeply rooted in systems thinking and strategic innovation. I help organizations understand not only user needs, but the systemic forces that shape them — enabling smarter, scalable design interventions. Ideation, problem-solving and systems thinking are my three superpowers. And yes, I run on caffaine.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Shahria at Questrade, where he did a fantastic job as a Senior Service Designer. Shahria always stays ahead of industry trends, constantly benchmarking new services and technologies to ensure our Questrade remained innovative and competitive…Beyond his technical expertise, Shahria brings an infectious energy, optimism, enthusiasm, and a collaborative spirit.
At Questrade, Shahria and I worked on a project where we intended to uncover foundational insights on a particular user group. Shahria’s thoughtful approach during research planning helped ensure that our research would dig up the most important information for us to create concrete and clear next steps.
Shahria was a great consultant. He helped DesignTO to explore the nuances of our business and business ecosystem by applying systems design tools and workshops. Through several interactions, we explored and uncovered many hidden risks and opportunities within our business.
Shahria constantly amazed me with his creativity and original ways in solving problems. He is Strong, experienced and accountable Manager of ecommerce Content, UX/UI development & customer journey
I was impressed by Shahria’s ability to think clean & smart and convert any new idea into working products or features. That skill often takes years to develop among telco professionals, but it seemed to come naturally to him. He’s a great resource & a good human being.
Shahria keeps his calm, thinks quickly on his feet and is able to make adjustments or come up with alternatives when things go sideways. I learned a lot by observing him moderate in-person sessions with users. One of the things that I most appreciate about him is his ability to work collaboratively.
