Hi, I’m Abubakar, though most people online know me as Mistallogik. I’m a Product and Brand Designer with over seven years of experience, currently based in Doha, Qatar.

About me

ABOUT ME

Most recently, I was a Senior Brand Designer at Rvysion Studios, a US-based agency, where I built visual identities, brand presentations and campaign assets for clients. Before that, I joined Maxim as a Product Designer, designing a fintech app that helps salary earners access credit, along with the admin dashboard that runs the platform.

Earlier in my career I designed brand identities, packaging and enterprise products for studios and startups across Nigeria, the UK and the US. Along the way I noticed that the best work happens where brand and product meet: when a product feels like its brand, and the brand holds up inside the product. That’s the space I work in.

These days I’m taking that one step further into design engineering, building what I design so the gap between idea and shipped product gets smaller.

OUTSIDE OF WORK

When I’m not designing, I’m usually at the gym, planning my next hike, or filming what a creative’s life looks like at home and in the studio. I mentor designers on ADPList to share what I’ve learned with the design community, and I’ve spoken at NGDX and Kompass. I’m also a guest speaker at webinars hosted by Geneza Design School, Utiva, Perxels and Vixe Academy.

I have also co-founded Kompass, a design community that has helped over 400 creative professionals find a home, build their career paths, share ideas, improve their design skills and access premium resources. We’ve hosted our first community event, creative hangouts, webinars and spaces where we invite design leaders to share with our community.
