Design-Led Growth for Founders Who Build

I’m Mohammad Aminur Rahman Maruf, the designer behind Startup Design Journal a weekly publication where I break down what makes startup products succeed (and fail). Drawing from 3+ years and 4,000+ hours designing SaaS platforms, mobile apps, and design systems, I’ve seen what it really takes to turn ideas into usable, lovable, and scalable products.

Why This Journal Exists

Most startups don’t fail because of bad code they fail because of bad product decisions, confusing UX, and zero user insight.
This journal exists to help you avoid that.

I share:

  • ✏️ Design strategies that align with business goals

  • 📊 Real startup case studies (what worked, what didn’t)

  • 🚀 Lessons from building scalable digital experiences
