About me

For more than 10+ years, I’ve been navigating between complex systems and human-centric design.

My journey has taken me from graphic design to high-stakes mobile ecosystems for global Banks to world-class IPs like Call of Duty and Star Wars.

I am easy going, curious and fascinated by why users stay or why they leave.

Industries: Video games, Financial services, Telecoms, Sports & Travel. Shipped titles: Call of Duty: MW3 and Star Wars: Hunters and more

Whether I’m leading a studio UX vision, managing high-performance teams my goal is always the same: distilling technical complexity into in to simple player/user experiences.

My design philosophy is 50% Psycho-logic and 50% Aesthetic Vision. I’m a sucker for the meticulous symmetry of Wes Anderson movies, the deep world-building of great books.

I believe everyone has something special to offer the world and I enjoy mentoring young designers.

Abdi is a forensic UX designer with an incredibly thoughtful and considered approach to creative problem solving. Throughout our time together I always appreciated the clarity and process and determination to deliver the most efficient possible design.
— Ben Furneaux | Design Director @ Sledgehammer Games
I worked with Abdi at Natural Motion, we collaborated and liaised in regards to the UI/UX regularly. I feel Abdi always took the project and his features seriously not necessarily falling into common traps but more trying to look at an idea from a different perspective with a view to try and innovate wherever possible.

I always found that Abdi would be very open to taking on feedback and trying out new scenarios that he may not have necessarily thought of at first. I always found him incredibly approachable and wish him all the luck in his future endeavours.
— Ash Miller | Lead/Principal UI Artist @ Natural Motion
Abdi is definitely one of the best and creative designers I have worked with.

We worked on a number of features while working on SW Hunters, and his work was super clear, detailed and easy to execute.
I found Abdi to be engaging and easy to talk to in a professional capacity or just catching up.
He was always ready to jump in and brainstorm and come up with new directions when UI needed help.

Overall Abdi is a fantastic person and would be a great asset to any team.
— Jason Cunningham | Principal Artist @ BossAlien
Working under Abdi was a great experience. He clearly had an extensive knowledge of UX and was able to understand complex issues quickly even when he was not working on the feature himself.

He is very patient and supportive and was able to recommend specific learning material for me to enhance my skills. Abdi also was a great advocate for accessibility and ensuring that the voice of the user was heard.
