About
I design and program thoughtful software, websites, and products. I’m interested in creative technology, programming as a design tool, and programming + designing software particularly for the browser.
Projects
This essay explores the identity of the mosque in America, its struggle to develop cultural and regional roots, and the societal and political issues that stand in its way. It’s written and formatted in Notion, using the Notion API to power this website.
Bamyan is a design project exploring the possibilities of a cultural typeface designed specifically for a region of Afghanistan. It makes reference to the Bamyan Valley of Afghanistan, its Buddhas, and the caves that inhabit it.
A website that places Afghanistan's flags in political, cultural, and design contexts; building visual and historical relationships that aim to archive the past while informing the future.
An online center that acts as an index of unknown and newly discovered cultural research, history, ideas, and information pertaining to Afghanistan.
A website that places the user on an abstracted prayer rug, in a panoramic landscape, facing the physical direction of Qiblah.
