02Point of view

I dot the i’s and ship the product.

I’m Abed Zim, a senior software engineer and UI/UX designer based in Paris. I design the interface, write the code and put it in production. One person from first sketch to launch: fewer handoffs, more product.

Mobile apps, SaaS, marketplaces, one Shopify app, one macOS app: nineteen products are live, and each began as a dot on a blank page. The twentieth is yet to be written.

03Strong points

Three states of the dot.

Volume, plane, point: a product, an interface, a brand. I do all three, in whichever order you need.

  1. a. — 1 / 3

    Volume.

    Custom application development, mobile and web. I also take care of deployment and technical consulting, so the product runs somewhere other than on my machine.

    • React Native
    • Next.js
    • Node.js
    • REST API

  2. b. — 2 / 3

    Plane.

    UI/UX design, from user research and wireframes to the final interface and testing. I only draw what I know how to build, which keeps the discussions short.

    • User research
    • Wireframes
    • Interface design
    • Usability testing

  3. c. — 3 / 3

    Point.

    Brand identity and graphic design, for print and for screen: logo, colours, typography, collateral. One right mark first. The rest follows from it.

    • Visual identity
    • Logo
    • Print
    • Graphic design

04In focus

Paris in twenty dots.

Paris has twenty arrondissements wound in a spiral: nineteen seats each hold a shipped product, and the twentieth is kept free.
