👋 Hi, I'm Usama Javed
A Senior UX Consultant who loves to craft a good story.
Currently working at Accenture, Previously at mobileLIVE.
I combine purposeful strategy with powerful design to help clients define their identities.
I'm a designer with over 7+ years experience. I've worked with various brands ranging from small non-profits to large tech companies with ambitious goals. I have a unique talent at seeing the big picture potential in a product or brand and then bringing it to life.Personally, I strive to balance unique ideas with proactive action toward measurable outcomes. If the work I do fails, i don't view such situations as finite or defining, but rather: I think of failure as a chance to learn something and adapt what happens next.
In my work, I like to find inspiration from many different avenues and curate patterns and trends across the systems I design within. I push for minimum-viable solutions in order to see ideas come to fruition, and I tend to ask a lot of questions of myself and others about how something fits into the larger work.
Product Design. Case Studies. UX Audit
Toolbox
These are the preferred tools that I've been working on to streamline my creative process. I'm always open to learning new methodologies, approaches and strategies to hone my craft.
Testimonials

Design Advocate - Sketch
“Usama is who you want on your team. A skillful and strategic designer, he can get into the weeds without losing sight of the bigger picture. In fact, he's probably thinking two steps ahead. Even though he could brag about his impressive UX credentials, he never does—in fact, his humility and good humor just make him an even better person to work with. If you have the chance to collaborate with Usama, seize it.”
