Selected work

Six products, from payroll to mountain huts. Each case study is laid out like the file it came from: the problem, the fix, the result and what I'd do differently.

[04]Process

How a project runs

Auto layoutHorizontalGap 24Padding 24Step 1 / 4
01Week 1

Discover

I sit where the problem happens: on the desk, in the field, in the support queue. One week, no slides.

02Week 2

Define

We agree the one outcome that matters and write it down with a number next to it.

03Weeks 3–8

Design

Prototypes in the real font on the real device, tested with five people every Friday.

04Weeks 8–12

Deliver

I stay through the build, review every pull request that touches the interface and measure the result.

“Noor asked better questions in week one than we had in a year. The pay run redesign paid for itself in a month of support tickets.”

“She spent four mornings on our front desk before drawing anything. Our receptionists still talk about it, and the booking flow shows it.”

“The 'will it fit?' check was a text field. It cut our returns by a quarter. Noor has no ego about the size of the idea.”

“Offline-first sounded like an engineering problem until Noor made it a design rule. Every screen had a weight budget, and she kept us to it.”

“We launched with six people and a sound test in the browser. 11,000 pre-orders later, I'd hire Noor for anything.”

“She got ninety architects to agree on what 'status' means. That alone deserves an award.”
