Senior Product & Service Designer — Langley, BC

Designing clarity into complex systems.

I'm Khurrum Husain. For 5+ years I've worked where design is hardest — government digital services, health tech, and regulated platforms — turning ambiguous, high-stakes problem spaces into experiences people can actually use. Research-led, systems-minded, and relentless about accessibility.

03 — About

A designer for the hard problems.

I'm a senior product and service designer based in Langley, BC. My work lives where design meets complexity: government services, regulated platforms, and health technology — domains where getting it wrong has real consequences for real people.

My approach is research-led and systems-minded. I start with evidence — interviews, usability testing, behavioral research — define the problem sharply, and design iteratively until the complex feels simple. I treat accessibility as a craft constraint, not a checklist, and I believe the best design decisions are the ones a team can defend with data.

Along the way I've mentored designers, evolved design systems, facilitated workshops, and partnered with product, engineering, and policy teams from discovery through delivery. I've completed NN/g courses in UX strategy and remote research, enterprise design thinking (IBM), and Scrum — and I bring a psychology background to how I understand users.

Currently a Senior Service Designer with the Government of British Columbia, designing digital services for the public.
