About Me

Tamkeen Kiani
LinkedInBehanceTikTokInstagram

I grew up in Islamabad, Pakistan, and I'm now based in Birmingham, UK. My technical foundation comes from a bachelor's degree in Information Technology and studying User Experience Design at Birmingham City University.

I'm a UX researcher and designer working end-to-end from discovery and research through interface design and low-code development in tools like Webflow. Across agency, in-house and consultancy work, I bring both strategic thinking and hands-on craft to every project.

I'm happiest with ambiguous problems that need structure research challenges where the right question isn't obvious yet, or design systems that need to grow with a product rather than hold it back. Always open to connecting with teams doing meaningful work in UX.

How I think

The principles
behind the work.

Five things I hold to on every project, from first interview to final Webflow build.

01

Outcomes first, taste second

Every decision I make is held against one question: does this actually serve the person using it, and the goal behind it? Taste matters, but it answers to outcomes.

Where it started

I started my career in Islamabad first as a UI/UX designer at OranjeClick. Juggling brand work, print, and my first interfaces taught me to move fast, wear every hat, and turn a rough brief into something real.

Leading design at TOP Worldwide

I grew from junior to Design Manager, leading a team of five and owning global design systems for Zapier, Unilever, Quest Diagnostics and Denny’s. Strategic UX/UI redesigns drove 40% growth in active users and cut bounce rate by a third, my first taste of design at real scale.

MSc User Experience Design

I moved to the UK for an MSc in UX Design at Birmingham City University. My thesis, “Implementing Continuous Product Discovery in Organizations”, turned into the backbone of how I work today, giving my self-taught instincts a rigorous research foundation.

Research & build at TerraQuest

As a UX Researcher & Designer I led the end-to-end design and build of the Interactive House, a 2D digital planning tool featured by Webflow's official account. I've embedded a continuous research framework into the roadmap and lead Webflow development across live projects.
