I design and build products with founders in healthcare AI. And I make my own.
What I do
How it works
I embed with one founder at a time, fractionally — usually three to six months, around 20–40 hours a week. One engagement at a time, so I'm actually present.
What I do
Whatever the product needs: user research, design, prototyping, and shipping production code with AI tooling (Claude, Cursor). Senior enough to lead the call; technical enough to ship the thing.
Who I work with
Founders building in healthcare AI, mostly. Sometimes adjacent complex spaces — fintech, edtech, regulated enterprise. Always early stage, where one experienced person can move the product more than a team of five.

About
I'm Humayun. I've spent the last decade designing products in complex, regulated spaces — at Shopify (pre-IPO), ClassDojo (50M+ users), Roadmunk (acq. Tempo), and Tiny Hearts (acq. Shopify), before going independent in 2020.
Studio Maya takes its name from the MAYA principle — "Most Advanced Yet Acceptable" — coined by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Every product I build aims for that line: as advanced as the user can absorb, no further.
Based in Montreal. Work remote, anywhere.

I'm available for one new engagement starting July 2026.
