ABOUT ME

Think in systems.
Design for people.

I’m Babak Haghighi, a product and design leader working at the intersection of strategy, user experience, and delivery.

Big-picture direction.
Hands-on detail.

For more than 12 years, I’ve helped shape digital products across marketplaces, commerce, media, subscriptions, and emerging businesses. My work connects user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints to create experiences that are useful, coherent, and built to evolve.

I move comfortably between big-picture product questions and hands-on design work—from discovery and prioritization to information architecture, design systems, prototyping, and collaboration with engineering teams.

I’m especially interested in making complex products easier to understand, helping teams make stronger product decisions, and using thoughtful, AI-assisted workflows to move from ideas to working products.

Methodical in thinking.
Practical in doing.
