I'm a designer at heart, but I've always been drawn to the building side of things too.

Right now I run Shapes Lab, an independent studio where I help founders figure out their brand and shape their products. On evenings I'm usually hacking on something small with friends, sometimes it ships, sometimes it doesn't.

Before that, I was the founding designer at Tapro, mostly focused on product with some brand work mixed in. And before Tapro, I was the first designer at Invertase, building tooling for developers.

I care about craft, though not in a precious way. I just notice when something feels slightly off, and I genuinely can't move on until it doesn't.

When I'm not working, I'm probably watching football and picking apart the tactics, or planning the next trip somewhere I haven't been yet.

You can find me on X or LinkedIn, also feel free to drop me a line at hey@mbazu.com.
