About Michael Makhmalbaf
Product Designer and Design Strategist at RaimaStudio
I am a design strategist, agency founder, and product architect with a background rooted in software engineering and applied AI research. I help mentees eliminate guesswork—whether that means scaling your design career or preventing wasted budget on a startup roadmap.
How I can help you: For Founders & Product Leads: Budget & Roadmap Audit: Pinpoint exactly where design spend generates business ROI and where to hold back on premature polish.
Product Architecture: Reviewing UX flows, AI interface logic, and multilingual (LTR/RTL) scalability before engineering begins.
Design Hiring: How to evaluate, test, and recruit the right design talent for your stage.
For Designers & Career Switchers: Portfolio & Resume Teardowns: Transforming visual-heavy portfolios into insight-led, high-impact case studies that hiring managers respect.
Technical Fluency: Learning how to think like an engineer, speak the language of developers, and master complex design systems.
Career Direction: Navigating transitions from junior roles or visual design into strategic product design.
Booking a session: To make our time high-yield, please share your specific question, portfolio link, or product brief in your booking note so we can jump straight into actionable diagnosis.
