About

Designer who thinks
like a product manager.

I'm Muhd Shaifol — a Product Design Lead and Manager based in Singapore with 14 years of experience building end-to-end digital products across IoT, eCommerce, Blockchain, HR tech, and B2B SaaS.

My background sits at the intersection of design and product management. I don't just design interfaces — I shape product strategy, align stakeholders, and build the design systems that teams can actually scale with. Whether I'm leading a team or working independently, my focus is always the same: make the right thing, make it well.

Over the past few years, AI has become a genuine force multiplier in how I work. I actively use tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Claude Code across research synthesis, rapid prototyping, content generation, and design documentation. What used to take days now takes hours. This isn't about replacing craft — it's about removing friction between insight and execution so I can focus on the decisions that actually matter.

Currently leading product design at SG Group, where I'm setting the design vision and operating model for a new digital platform from the ground up.
