Murad Amiar

I design software people use eight hours a day.

UX/UI designer from Ukraine, based in Eichstätt, Germany. Since 2018 I’ve designed CRMs, including one for British American Tobacco, a TV platform with over a million users and online stores. Today I also build what I design, with AI-assisted code.

  • Design systems in code

    Tokens, components and documentation that live in code, not only in Figma, so design and development stay in sync. This site’s spec mode is one example.

How I work

Four things I hold to on every project.

  • Density is a feature

    People who live in a CRM want more on screen, not less. I design for the hundredth visit, not only the first.

  • Every state gets designed

    Empty, loading, failed, three thousand rows, a company name sixty characters long. That’s where business software breaks.

  • Accessible from the start

    Contrast, focus, keyboard, screen readers. I trained in inclusive web design, and this page passes its own checks.

  • Specs developers can build from

    Tokens, variants and measured layouts, so nothing gets guessed in handoff. The spec toggle above shows what that looks like.

About

Portrait of Murad Amiar
Murad Amiar

I came to design the long way round. Every stop on the way left me something I still use when I design a product.

  1. Art and music

    Grew up watching fashion shows with my sister and a family friend at his easel. Graduated from music school.

  2. Marketing

    Old brands that won before marketing even had a name fascinated me, so I took a degree in it in Kharkiv.

  3. Maritime school

    I know Morse code, so I know who binary’s ancestor is.

  4. Brand development

    Managed brand development in orthodontics, then felt the pull back to making things.

  5. Product design

    Since 2018: CRMs, a TV platform with a million users, online stores and smart home.

Based in
Eichstätt, Germany, since 2024. Open to teams anywhere.
